a simple old man,
“When acquiring new information, one can’t just blindly believe others as they might have the wrong information too. You have to get information from multiple sources, cross-reference it and then once it tests out and works, you can move forward. They have used something similar to the scientific method, but unlike Earth where the scientific method is widespread, information in the Ten Realms is limited and few people are willing to share it to those they know, let alone strangers.” Erik shook his head.
Provenance and veracity are importan to all fields of study. Thus the reason science places such much importance on replicatable results and history places emphasis on primary sources for two easy examples.
There were three levels of knowledge: learning it, being tested on it, and teaching others. At each point, one’s understanding of the knowledge that they had learned would be affirmed and made stronger.
Very true. Teaching others always improves one's own understanding of a subject as we must make our understanding complete in order to communicate the information to others.
simple man;
Now, if I was just able to combine my finger technique with my elbow technique, use the One Finger Beats Fist to pierce one’s defenses and then the Growling Tiger Elbow technique to unleash rampant Mana in their body, I could use a Mana blast but that would simply cause the area hit to explode and possibly hurt myself. If I use the growling and finger in combination, then I could cause severe internal injuries, with less risk to myself and less Mana.
