Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[inabox]

Have we gone slighty off topic from the original question, 200 posts ago?

 

[metalminx24]

Do you remember what the original topic was?

 

[inabox]

Do you think it's relevant now that we have moved away from it?

 

[metalminx24]

Shouldn't we be thinking more about the fact that we're wasting our time being silly?

 

[nyxjord]

Shouldn't we be doing something productive instead of being on here anyway?

 

[tree]

Can't we consider the possibility that playful creative thinking may be productive?

 

[metalminx24]

Are we capable of playful creative thinking?

 

[tree]

Does your question mean, that once again, researchers should
subject a population to intense study to derive a conclusive result?

 

[zurb]

Can't we just draw our own conclusions rather than relying on so called expert researchers to do our thinking for us? (I've lost count of the number of times I've heard news reports similar to "An international team of researchers have discovered after 10 years of study that people have noses on their faces")

 

[tree]

Who said they'd be experts?

 

[zurb]

Don't they themselves claim to be experts in the hope we will hire them?

 

[metalminx24]

Are they the same sort of 'experts' as those who appear in shampoo adverts?

 

[zurb]

Are you saying all 'experts' are just actors?

 

[metalminx24]

If I proclaimed myself to be an expert, would that make it true?

 

[nyxjord]

What must one do in order to be considered an expert?

 

[tree]

Is that a philosophical question or a request for certification?

 

[metalminx24]

Ooh, can I have a certificate (and a badge!!)??

 

[Flinty]

They still issue badges in this day and age?

 

[asd8513]

Did you seriously think they didnt?

 

[tree]

Who can work up a power point, showing the difference
between identification techniques?
