"Professors often make a strong impression on their students, but, especially in technical or scientific fields, they usually do this by controlling the discourse, so that radical questioning is excluded. What they don’t know “isn’t knowledge.” Under the pressure of “getting a professional education,” students appreciate organizing principles and mnemonic devices, but this gives traditional ways of systematizing knowledge tremendous power that, in practice, is far more important than mere experimental results. (Experiments that don’t acknowledge the ruling metaphors are almost universally considered inadmissable, unpublishable.)"

question. always question. if I ever respond in a way that says your shouldn't question-please remind me..

Question me, your friends, your parents, your teachers, your proffesors, your trainers. Do it with respect but don't accept (at least things you feel are important) without questions.

If you question me it makes me question more, look deeper, double check, raises a possibility of uncertainty in that if I find some contradicting info I might be more open to it. It challenges my ego too :) Thats a good thing

If no one questioned the world would still be flat and they be doing some other horrible methods in medicine, no one would have gone to the moon(if they did go lol), no one would have flown-it can't be done-.

Look at what people believed 500 years ago. Some of it if you told a 12 year old they'd laugh at.

Look at what Chinese children believe. British kids. Russian kids. African kids. Many beliefs are different.

Thats what they are taught. I think we are very arrogent to believe that what we taught is right and everyone else is wrong. I also think this is very normal and part of the human ego.

My dad drinks coke so its ok... Not trying to pick on you. I have been there and am there still in some ways I'm sure. We all are. This is normal human behaivor and I believe its largely to do with ego preservation. Thats fine, normal and not bad. But there is no basis to support that belief from that thought.

However.. doesn't mean what we believe, or have been taught is true or false or that it can't be true for one and false for another.

I'm not saying believe me. I am giving you my beliefs and evidence to check it out. You can ignore, check it out and decide, agree or disagree. Just like I can with any opinion anyone else puts out.

With health-results are all that matter. But don't confuse fitness with health. The real test also comes when there are health challenges. When things are going fine and when the body is strong its amazing what we can get away with.

The real test and I think what really shows if something works is when you test something on a system that is is hampered or damaged. Then you get much quicker feed back.

A still 'healthy' body and a strong expression of genes may allow someone to party all night and train like a mad man. That doesn't prove a thing.

Being able to get someone who couldn't train to be able to train again. I think that lends more credibility to the approach and methods.

Just some thoughts
