They Knew Better

In 1887, Charles Garnier, the architect behind the Paris Opera House, knew the Eiffel Tower was a terrible thing.

In 1958 the President’s Science Advisory Committee knew that “It would not be in the national interest to exploit space science.”

Your idea can’t possibly work and they have the background that you don’t. So why do you presume that you know and they don’t?

Faith? Sometimes things move forward even though “they” know better. Don’t forget, the Eiffel Tower is a national treasure, and the US put a man on the moon in 1969.

Sometimes, they are wrong.
