It is easy to calculate a situation which has multiple outcomes. However, someone prefers a particular one among a series of multiple expected results. The person may avoid many possible right paths (which is calculative) and selects & defends their own views.
I think a lot about the matter. In the end, I can remember 2 things in which one was the words of my father and second is one of the principles of the research taught by Dr. Nazia.
My father always said to me "always try to listen as much as possible without providing any feedback". I follow it all the time and it has many positive sides. Firstly, it gives you opportunities to hear all the things about the matter and you come to know the full details of it. Moreover, opposing the opinion may make the advisor to control over the topic. Hence, the advise taker may have only half picture.
Secondly, Dr. Nazia said "you may have your own knowledge and opinion about the research topic but you must have blind brain to accept the truth and to conclude it without any bias.". It is the proper way to find out the real outcomes.
In reality, people have some knowledge about a topic and they try to prove that they have knowledge about it. They never give up all the ideas due to having ego. The art of thinking zero is not easily achievable by general people. It is a process of purifying thoughts and realizing the fact that we are nothing.
