I always compare knowledge to a ball of string. the end piece of string logically extends from the previous and there is a continuous line weaving back to . . . nothing.

an original observation can be the first starter thread. and the ball can grow huge, or not grow at all. The start of the thread is always the suspect part.

My observation is the bigger the ball of string, the more people accept the knowledge. knowledge seems to be no more than confirmation. . .(making the ball bigger - not true-er)

There are many competing balls, and if you unravel them to the very first thread. . they invariably start at the same point. Knowledge is a useful tool. accepting knowledge without scrutinising and understanding the first glimmer of the original thread is common.

Kgun "What is knowledge? To whom is it knowledge?"?
Mate, I think you spend too much time thinking.
