<I mean really understand how physical/biological world works. There is room for everyone to do that, some are likely to be more efficient at it than others. Bit liked trained athletes vs. some guy in Kenya who runs around after his cattle and with training could be world beating and is like the amateur who has the great discovery.> That's sort of my point, it's the 'amatuer' that has come along and shattered the paradigm: <<Over the past 35 years, Kenyans, especially the Kalenjin, have established themselves as the world's premier distance runners. Kenya ranks near the bottom worldwide in nearly every social and economic category -- in life expectancy, per capita income, child mortality, you name it. But in footraces longer than 800 meters, on the track or on the road, Kenya is indisputably No. 1.>> I believe even Einstein did not 'book' his way to his realizations, but had realizations and then went on to do his work in order to explain them. < What I find stranger is the tendency to say that something is "not interesting" because it doesn't seem to fit the paradigm > Yea, especially when it's known that paradigm shifting discoveries or events always come from entirely different level of realization than what is currently accepted, and often from OUTSIDE the "scientific community".
