The eternal struggle between chemists and biologists summed up perfectly. Chemists flex their intellectual muscles with "D-2-aminopropanoic acid" (complete with structural formula, because of course they do), while biologists just shrug and call it "D-Alanine." Same molecule, different egos. It's like watching someone order a "triple-filtered dihydrogen monoxide with frozen crystalline structures" when they could just ask for ice water. The scientific equivalent of using SAT words in casual conversation—we get it, you're smart.
