How many Sociologists does it take to change a light bulb?

It isn't the light bulb that needs changing, it's the system!

-Yet another...-

Scotty will report to Captain Kirk that the light bulb in the Engineering 
Section is burnt out, to which Kirk will send Bones to pronounce the bulb 
dead.

Scotty, after checking around, notices that they have no more new light 
bulbs, and complains that he can't see in the dark to tend to his engines. 
Kirk must make an emergency stop at the next uncharted planet, Alpha Regula 
IV, to procure a light bulb from the natives.

Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu, and 3 red shirt security officers beam down. The 3 
security officers are promptly killed by the natives, and the rest of the 
landing party is captured.

Meanwhile, back in orbit, Scotty notices a Klingon ship approaching and must 
warp out of orbit to escape detection.

Bones cures the native king who is suffering from the flu, and as a reward 
the landing party is set free and given all of the light bulbs they can 
carry.

Scotty cripples the Klingon ship and warps back to the planet just in time 
to beam up Kirk et. Al .

The new bulb is inserted, and the Enterprise continues with its five year 
mission.

Therefore, by induction, for all n in the positive integers, n 
mathematicians can change a light bulb.
