Why Discoveries Are Made by Questioning Answers

I like this quote: “Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers” —Bernard Haisch.

Questioning answers is a great tool in many instances in life, and it is true that it sometimes leads to deep insights. It is too easy to be led by the soothing sound of answers delivered with assurance. Answers reflect the common knowledge, the knowledge that the person talking wants you to share.

Question answers more often. It will lead you to discover new areas of thought. It is a great skill. It is a great creative tool too!
