If someone experienced in a field of research tells you something is possible, they're very probably right. If they tell you it's not possible, it's 50/50. Adapted from: Clarke's first law: When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. --- I don't think you need to be elderly - just set in your ways. --- A valuable conversation would be why they think it wouldn't work. That will give you a lot of surface area to mine for clues to make it work.
