At the same time, though, if every time someone had an idea for how to change an issue, that person heeded the ones who said "You're new and don't know the limitation of the system, so we're going to facepalm you"... how many great advances in technology would we be missing?Â
Just an example, prior to railroads we didn't have any reason to develop the techniques needed to make tunnels through a mountain or leveled routes along the side of a slope. People transported goods using wagons, and there were simply certain places wagons could go and couldn't go. A lot of people probably said, "There's no way your fancy railroad thing will work, because the system isn't designed to be able to do that, there's mountains and rivers, we'd have to use the same routes the wagons all use, and then the wagons couldn't use them because wagon wheels don't go over train tracks very well."
If the system doesn't meet the needs of emerging ideas, then the system can be changed. Even a computer system. The computer only does the things we tell it to do, after all - any limits it has aside from hardware (which can be upgraded) exist because we programmed those limits.
EDIT: Anyway, this is getting off topic. I realized that after I posted this, but per forum rules I'm not going to delete it... just perhaps ask that nobody else reply to it? <<
