This made me realize that I had always implicitly and vaguely assumed that Feynman diagrams are stylized versions of the bubble chamber tracks. They aren't? (I know basically zip about the diagrams except that they condense boilerplate perturbation hair in some a convenient way. I guess on reflection that doesn't seem to have much to do with the tracks? Sorry to be stupid, I don't know any physics almost.)

Oh, this is really weird, I totally didn't get your punning on "perturbation." I have a cheddar and spinach casserole for brains.
