Beginners and outsiders are open to possibilities and don’t make assumptions. By extension, they’re often better at finding solutions the experts have stopped seeing."

"What the heart gives away is never gone ... It is kept in the hearts of others."
Dee,
Good point. Many inventions and breakthroughs in technology have come about, simply because the inventor, or researcher, didn't realize that it couldn't be done, whereas the experts "knew" that it was impossible.
The problem with many highly-educated "experts", is that, (just as your saying suggests), they know enough about the subject that they make too many assumptions, and impose too many constraints, and they're unable to think out of the box, that they enclose themselves in. "Outsiders" and novices, almost always come up with the most creative ideas.
Love,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
