Topics

Exploring a technical topic to deepen knowledge about it takes time and effort.  There doesn’t seem to be a unified globally accepted way to commence an investigation into a new or fledgling topic in our wheelhouse.  It does seem, though, that every topic might have four things that can help with the exploration:

• Facts and data (the scientific and technical knowledge)

• Myths and mistakes (what has been, or is, wrong about the topic)

• Resources and references (the people and the books)

• Experts and Analysts (those with deep knowledge, and also, usefully, are those who question it).
