-- because to ask an _interesting_ question, you have to have some basic
knowledge of the field. It's not hard to acquire. The received version
isn't necessarily correct, but to critique it intelligently you have to
_understand_ it first.

If you don't do this, you keep asking the _same_ questions, which were
answered long ago.
