I was amazed at just how complex a hand is. Layer after layer of fascia and tissue. I'm glad to hear that you got to an expert for this sort of surgery.<br /> As for "ruthlessly questioning everything you think you know", that goes to the essence of epistemology. The very core of a skeptical mind is to question our own confirmation biases (and the smarter you are, the more subject you are to such bias because you're more able to find it). With the entire knowledge of the human race available in the palm of our hands, and knowing that 90% or more of what we see is garbage, we are always looking for correlation, confirmation, and if I may use a much abused word: truth.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183459827508486809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-419121710211110652021-09-16T22:29:33.764-04:002021-09-16T22:29:33.764-04:00Feynman was an amazing guy.
