Actually, this is the exact opposite of what I said. What I said was | Quote: | | The point is that these things are understood and well documented by specialists in those areas, and the knowledge is open to anyone to study and investigate and verify. People may believe things on the basis of authority, but they are not required to. They are free to study the topic for themselves and formulate their own theories. Of course, the way academia works is that those theories will be open to question by others and will have to withstand rigorous testing. |
Do you now see what I said? No-one is required to accept any "expert" opinion but is free to study and learn for him/herself.
