I think you’ve misinterpreted what I said. I’m not suggesting everyone is a fool, quite the opposite.

It’s just an important question to ask yourself.

The purpose of PHDs are to move human knowledge forward. You have to do an analysis of something that, in all likelihood, nobody has done before (or not enough to be considered settled).

But then your analysis has to be challenged as well. And the challenges should be published. Success or fail.

If you live in your own bubble the needle doesn't move forward.
