Reason #5,385 that Japan is cooler than wherever you live

[A Black Falcon]

Oh, I get it, it's like some martial arts kung fu master lesson that means like "the person who isn't convinced they know the answer is more open to find out the truth" or something, right?

What do you think? :)

Yeah, that about describes it, but that just is a knock against having low standards for evidence than anything.

Not necessarially... more like the typical 'the people all have been doing this for a while and know how to do it but here comes the young person who doesn't know the limits of what can be done so they do what everyone knows can't be done and afterwards all the others can say is 'but you can't do that!'...'... it doesn't say that they are stupid, but that they've gotten too used to the way things are known to be.
