And having looked at my share (thousands and thousands) of
transcripts, I can say that when looking at a transcript from
East Podunk Community College, I would have *more* respect for
a line item that said "Mechanical Universe" than one that said
simply "physics". It's not the solution to all the world's
problems, but it's a respectable serious thing.

Will this ever catch on in a big way? I don't know.

I am not quite sure what this is supposed to say. Is the implication here
that if the East Podunk Community College transcript says "Physics" it was
taught by a CARP? I have yet to meet anyone teaching physics in a community
college who was not trained in physics ( at the Ms or PhD level.)
