Tommaso, this is a great point: "Just a comment on your comment on geological expertise. Unlike mathematics and physics, and somewhat like its own subject, geology is a discipline in which the oldest members of the profession often are the best. It seems to be an accretive science--somewhat like the practice of medicine--where longer and more varied experience leads to more reliable diagnoses." Koan: "A few months ago Scientific american had an article on the "expert mind'. Using chess players they found that if a person works at learning a subject (like chess) it takes 10 years to develop an expert mind. "The 10 year rule". Longer thant o train a brain surgeon. I would think this would apply exactly to geologists. SA said the expert mind builds software whereby it thinks in clumps (a kind of shorthand) and makes much better decisions and much quicker. Give me the old geologist every time-lol. As long as he/she kept up with the science.
