I thought the heading said “a couple of Neutrons walked into a bar” There is a joke that we chemistry teachers tell. The punch line is from the bartender: “For you, neutrons, no charge!”

What you’re suggesting is a real behavior change, albeit a positive one.
It’s going to take people a while to get over the fact that ideas are fungible and that others may take your idea and offer their own feedback and suggestions.
Because as we well know, not everyone is open to feedback and suggestions, least of all from complete strangers.

Thanks for the mention, and thanks for highlighting your ‘extra rung’ post, it was a goodie. Personally, I approach blogging with the mindset that my readers, as a group, are ALWAYS smarter than I am. Which means I always can learn from them, so I craft my content in a way that encourages them to interact with me. Or think of it as crowd-sourcing ideas.
But I loved your post because everyone was throwing out ideas, and you kept changing/refining/improving your original point, based on feedback from your readers. As it should be!

Love the analogy! I always believe that nobody (except my mom of course) knows everything, but everyone knows *something*! Put all of those somethings together and you develop quite the power with which to reckon.
