Frank,
I do have another look at this:
I think that if a person don't know (have the right knowledge in a certain area)
one have to ask questions and have some doubts. If not, one will believe just
about everything another person says simply because on one's lack of knowledge.
Also, by questioning, one can sort the "truth" out of the "fiction", so to say.
What I mean is that by questioning another person, one can convince oneself that
what the other person says might be right. By questioning and doubting, one
force
oneself to think whether a certain thing is right or wrong.
Now, if I, for example, would not question another person's words, I would then
be a fool (anyone could say anything to me and I would believe).
I don't have much knowledge in photographic-physical-technical issues. I still
have to have that "critical filter" (questions, doubts) turned on to what people
says. But if like fifteen people says one thing, and only one says another, than
my "critical filter" tells me that those fifteen *might* be right. My "critical
filter" are even more likely to believe a thing that one hundred people against
one single person says.
Questioning another person is *not* a negative criticism.
Doubting another person is *not* the same as one think the other is wrong.
I hope I have explained so you all understand what I mean.
