How do you think these refinements happen, if not by trial and error? You don't just discover the right way to do something, you more likely also find a few wrong ways in the process. If there's one thing history has taught us about innovation it's that it happens in the most unlikely of places. You know what else have gone through multiple refinements over millennia? Pleiades of religions that claim to successfully usher our spirituality. Are they wrong, are they right? Who knows? What I'm observing is that the world is still here waiting for something better.
