c. Strategic concept: Economies do not grow strong by restricting the flow of information; they grow strong by sharing ideas and building upon the work of others. In fact, all of mankind’s greatest inventors built upon the work of their predecessors. There is no work that has not built upon the previous knowledge of others at all
If you look at what has been accomplished in the world of science, you also know that the only breakthroughs that has been made, was made cause some individuals ignored old knowledge and overlooked "facts".. they thought outside of the box. Leonardi Da Vinci is an excellent example of this, having no education, taught himself most of what he knew and reasoned in ways not hampered by traditional knowledge/facts.
