Very well put. too bad something like this isn't at the forefront of every disputed technology or topic in the limelight.
I have experienced the "grandeur effects" of those with stacks of degrees saying that something is not supposed to be possible, and yet they witness it, and even participate in it, and yet cannot believe for it has all been explained and proven out, and they understand it, but are stuck in the old teachings of some family tree member or influential person in their life, that said it was not possible, and they belived it, and have not changed. And it is my personal opinion that a Masters Degree in Blindfolded Underwater Basket Weaving While Inverted, does not amount to having any more knowledge in one respect than another. while there are those who are good thinkers and not so good at buidling, there are others whom are good at building and not so good at thinking things through. this must be taken into account. as the speaker for SBIR/STTR/TREND Alaska said
"They have proven that a public speaker must choose the verbage, and intellect level to match those of an average 6th Grade language skill to speak to large crowds and even smaller crowds of adults."
IF that is for adults....then waht about kids? and if they must use words fit for kids to talk to adults without problems, are we really doomed?
and that is Professional advice, from the University of Alaska.
this does not preclude that everyone is stupid. nor does it say that everyone in the crowd will easily understand the topic at hand.
so it all boils down to educating yourself. This is not here to bash, but to bring to light that even the most controversial of technologies can be worked with and properly researched without much bickering.
I do believe that the "joe cell" needs more proper research, and more sophisticated laboratory equipment than even I can afford for a few more years.
Maybe it works, Maybe it doesn't. It sure has inspired one thing through it all: HOPE. hope that htere is another way. and while that has transpired, it has opened the doorway to regular Joe's to research it, and try it out. and maybe even look other directions if it fails. maybe that was the whole point of the Joe Cell. Maybe it wasn't. either case may be true. I am not to argue it. Proper research will prove it out, and of course there will be opposition, but that is to be expected. when is there not opposition to things that may cause change. people do not like change, and it makes people uncomfortable. so why change? these are things for you to look at when researching this out. and even I must remind myself to do this at times. like now.
