Was thinking more of.......
seven:
One to change the light bulb,
One to study the specialness of the 'place' of the light fitting
One to study how the bulb and fitting fit into the wider ritu-monial enviro-scape
One to sit down and write about how the act made them feel and what they could smell during the act
One lightbulb specialist to catalogue the bulb and point at where it fits into the relative typology of bulbs and hence make a guess at the date of the fitting
One experimental archaeologist to re-enact the changing of the light bulb
and one scientist to point out that the bulb didn't need changing and that 'your now trying to screw a bayonet bulb into a screw thread'
