Why would it be troubling that there is more to learn? There is always more to learn. If you were under the misconception that we knew everything about the human body, then I’m glad you’re now enlightened
- rbanffy 6y agoIt's troubling to discover something that's been there for thousands of years, right behind our noses. Haven't we sliced a couple humans to sub-millimetric resolution?
- dumbfoundded 6y agoIt's about expectations. We obviously will never know everything about anything. Some things seem easier to discover than others. This seems like something easy to discover that has long since gone undiscovered.
- hilbert42 6y agoIn this case it's a little like finding someone's house in a town you've never been in before. You expect the town's map to be accurate and to have all relevant streets listed - not having some of them missing. This report suggests that we do have 'streets' missing. Researchers are now delving into finely nuanced areas of research at a level the equivalent of the house before the preliminaries are resolved - before all streets are found. Bypassing prerequisites always has serious consequences, things go wrong, errors occur, time is wasted, work is duplicated by others, etc. Even patients may die. I'd suggest that no one yet knows how this will impact research that's already been completed and which now has to be reinvestigated.
