Very brief profile: Studied Engineering and Computing Science, but other major academic interests include physics, physiology, and linguistics. I can tear down an engine, safely handle a firearm, operate an excavator, prepare a gourmet meal, and scale a cliff face (5.12), among other things. I understand the importance of non-selective application of critcal thinking and logical analysis.
Two other important things:
1. It is ok to say "i was wrong". We make mistakes - admit to them. We learn - discard old findings that are disproved by new ones.
2. It is ok to say "i don't know". That is far, far better than to invent reasons to fill a void created by the absence of facts.
