Superconductors come in two flavours, depending on how firmly they expel magnetic fields: they are either dogmatic on the subject, or pragmatic, permitting some flexibility. Most useful superconductors fall into the latter category. In this talk, I will explain how this pragmatism manifests, and can be exploited, both for practical purposes, and as a means of better understanding the underlying physics.
