Loving Science, No Matter New Or Old

------1

A netizen gave his comment after he had read my 

blogs:

 "Our TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is the 

greatest science of mankind."  This is a pertinent

comment , not too much.

Because this is confirmed by its success in serving 

countless persons in its long history.

I replied: You're right ! 

But some pseudo scholars may think that：

Our TCM was formed in ancient times , so it should 

be eliminated .

In fact , this is the logic of self deception.

And here are at least four reasons to refute this view:

1.  Our human cognitive process is a process of

     knowledge accumulation , not a strict 

    exclusive process .

Namely, the establishment of new knowledge does

not necessarily eliminate all known knowledge .

For example:

1.1 The discovery of real numbers does not negate all knowledge about integers;

1.2. Any new achievements in DNA research cannot 

deny the common sense that "man must eat, drink 

and sleep".

1.3. Any latest medical research achievements can 

not deny the common sense that "man has two legs ".
