MigL,

respectfully, that's not the point. Just because a praying mantis wouldn't want the same type of treats you might give, say, a cat, doesn't mean that they wouldn't saddle up to us more if we used their currency.

I think MigL has confused the word "sarcastic" with the word "wrong".

Fermions, like the electron, however, have to fit into certain 'slots' when in a system. And once the 'slot' is occupied, it is full and no more can fit. We can then, associate that particular electron with that 'slot', or state.

Partly right. Electrons can jump around a little bit from their "slots". The transition elements are full of examples where electrons will jump over to another orbital or even energy level.
