both fuel each other
wild ideas of philosphers entice those who like concrete data to see if they hold useful value
i think it's like science fiction and science - sure one is often a collage of various wild ideas - but some of them could inspire a person in a fancy lab coat to say "huh, that's cool, i wonder if i could make that real" (that's how we got mobile phones!)
being a scientist can sometimes trap you into the world of concrete data that's very detail orientated, scientists need their philosopher friends who just say wild shower thoughts without thinking too much about specifics. Small picture and big picture are not opposing forces after all, they complete each other
edit: fixed a broken link
your link points to a site about increasing Website performance.
