” A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot”, Albert Einstein
Having worked, taught and been involved in research for many years in a university, I am accoustomed to conferences and seminars where reviewing, applauding or critiquing the work of others is usual. Building upon good science and discarding that which seems wrong headed is part of the research process. It is how new knowledge is created. It is the true meaning of what constitutes good science. In short, open debate is encouraged.
