 ( 8.  Fool's Knowledge )

PREFACE: 

In some medical discussions , we　can easily find some

pseudo scholars  who are particularly skillful at playing 

professional terms to fool or teast patients , and even

to mislead  patients. 

 

In fact, when analyzing problems, on the one hand, we

should face up the facts directly, and on the other hand, 

we should pay attention to the analysis of granularity.

 

Therefore, never assume that the more microcosmic, the

better. 

Otherwise, all kinds of strange theories will emerge one

after another.

For example, as we all know, water is liquid at normal

temperature and pressure.

 

We only need to observe the objective facts carefully to

get  this simple conclusion.

 

However, if we never recognize this fact and take it for

granted that we must make theoretical deduction, we 

may be deluded by many fallacies !

 

So, we might as well make up a joke for such pseudo

scholars .

 

  =============

 Fool's Knowledge

 

Once upon time ,   there was a fool , he couldn't  learn

anything because he only believed in the theoretical

deduction and never considered or recognized any

objective facts.

 

For example, he never believed that water is liquid at

normal temperature and pressure.

 

Because he only believed in his own theoretical derivation.

 

Thus, when he saw liquid water in a river , he felt very

starnge so that he began his deduction:

 

1.   Water consists of two elements: hydrogen and oxygen.

 

2.   At normal temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a 

gas.

3.   At normal temperature and pressure, oxygen is a

gas.

4.　Since　both hydrogen and oxygen, which are all the

 　 components of water, are  gaseous , never  liquid at

     normal temperature and pressure, water may be

     gaseous, but never liquid !

At last, he can even infer the following view:

Maybe someone says that water is liquid at room

temperature, but such statement is at best just a "individual case", "anecdote", and "personal 

experience", and assert that such statement  is  

meaningless to prove that "Water is，liquid at room

 temperature", all of these are " hallucinations ".

 

But is such a fool worthy of respect ?
