In popular media, sciency types in popular media are always talking about "elegance" and yet, growing up around scientists has largely led me to believe that the elegance in science is often of a more brutal strain than is commonly assumed by laypeople.

It seems so.The gene gun was originally a Crosman air pistol modified to fire dense tungsten particles.
