 ( 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 ?
