It's not a statement about squares creating shockwaves. It's related to a tendency in jobs that was quite in vogue during the second half of the 90's, at least, in Argentina. Everything was so messed up, that we multitasked in crazy ways. At some point, a phrase was common: they expect us to put an elephant inside a little bottle. More than workers, we had to be saviors...or outright magicians!.
