Permalink Reply by Paul Alberti yesterday I like that. There are studies that show if you ask an expert how to solve a problem - they hedge and build in buffers because they know all the variables, issues, possibilities and they take forever to solve the problem. Someone who is not familiar with the issue is not constrained by all the minutia and frequently solve the problem. Not to say we don't need experts, but sometimes too knowledge can get in the way.
The value of the Beginners Mind!
