Do you really expect to be able to set up an earnest discussion starting with the premise that the "question" alone will make the scientist?

What exactly is the worth of your "PhD" if the only criterion is to post 50 questions?

Can there be a discussion with questions alone?

Is it not true that the questions serve to pony the way to the discovery instead of being the discovery?

The question here is not how many questions did I put up, but: Do those questions further our knowledge by pointing people into the right direction?

CP, which of the seven quotations in the original post did you find most interesting in the context of 'questioning'?

Would 'always wearing white socks' be necessary for work or safety reasons?

How would your "two big breasted sisters" [mentioned in Suzi's thread] answer this question?

Would you please ask cash who seems well informed about socks?

Is Richard Feynman one of your favorite writers?

[Ponderable, do you realize now that there are six other quotations in the original post and that our purpose is to exercise and strengthen our questioning muscles not our opinion muscles and that our objective isn't to make scientists?]

What exactly is the worth of your "PhD" if the only criterion is to post 50 questions?

[Where do you get idea that there's a stipulated maximum number of questions that can be asked?]

Can there be a discussion with questions alone?

[Hmm.... do you think it's ever been tried as a laboratory experiment in Germany or the UK?]

Is it not true that the questions serve to pony the way to the discovery instead of being the discovery?

[Would you believe that on this point we're in agreement?]

The question here is not how many questions did I put up, but: Do those questions further our knowledge by pointing people into the right direction?

[Do you enjoy being helpful offline in "pointing people into the right direction?" as you often do here for the betterment of this forum?]

Hey, wolfie, have you ever written material for a stand up comic or authored illustrated books for young children?

Isn't that a place where students congregate to learn?

Ponderable, you made a decision with conviction; I respect that in a man.
