You are supposed to be the person who knows that you have a brain the size of a small pea. You are the person who knows the difference between a brain and a computer and the difference between a brain and an elephant. You are the teacher, not the student.
In general, the idea that I am the student while you are the teacher is one of the biggest problems with the phrase “discovery.” There is a very fine line between the two, and when that line comes, it is very difficult to cross.
Of course I do not live my life by the slogan “You are the teacher while I am the student.” I don’t really. I am the student only when I am not being taught, the pupil, when I am being taught. I am the teacher when I am teaching. This is true in my personal life, as well as in my professional life.
