In making posts for steemstem, mehn! So much work to read and digest, while reading and preparing a post on Umbilical hernia, I allowed my mind to take a walk of it's own and it brought me this.
Might regard it as science fiction, but I tend to see the reality in it.

Jack, a little rat in class two college of health, asked his lab instructor during an experimental analysis,

sir why are you using this particular approach in carrying out your experiment? I have a hypothesis which according to my calculations should yield a better and more accurate result.

The lab instructor, replied Jack

This has always been the way we do it,
My father was a great scientist and made use of this method of analysis, his father used it as well.
You cant just bring something new, so you mean I don't know what I have been teaching, go back to your hole this instant.

*Left, right, left, this way, not that way, this way.

Should young ones be shut down, for bringing out new ideas compared to the old ways of doing things?
where z d room for exploration, for advances, for innovation, still lingered on the same old system.

Give way for improvement.
