An eminently reasonable philosophy. The better you understand a subject, the more qualified you are to challenge the status quo. However, in most of science, the better you understand a subject the more likely you are to see why the status quo is the strongest position, and the less likely you are to place much weight in alternatives. All very healthy.

Hello Chris,

A very reasonable answer, and more food for thought as well.

Thank you.
