 ( 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 .

 

That is , 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 

also 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 

   normal temperature and pressure !

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 ?
