The problem in academy and in the field, even among fellow polymaths, is reducible to the demand for the certainty of opportunity instead of continually expanding and maintaining the field of opportunities. We operate by a different standard, not certainty (closure now) but satisfaction of demand for infallibility given the question at hand. It’s not finding the one solution it’s keeping the field of opportunities open so that we can seize opportunities to achieve one of the field’s better end states.
