87 "In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important discoveries."

I strongly agree with the author on the statement that beginners are more likely than experts to make important discoveries. Nevertheless, the function of the green hands cannot be exaggerated and the maximum efficiency is achieved only through well-designed cooperation between them.

That the beginners are usually luckier in making significant discoveries is best demonstrated in their nature of being beginners. Unlike experts who have summarized and applied a sophisticated method in their researches, beginners are usually, at first, ignorant of how to get their work started. Though under the guidance of their supervisors, they may occasionally have no idea to certain problems and the only way out is to try, regardless of the consequences. With the wildest ideas supported by the most inadequate evidences, beginners recklessly put them into practice and expect desirable results. Marvelous as it may seem, some significant discoveries in the human history, the electron spin theory for example, were made in this way, although failures always dominate among the outcomes. The routine methods of the experts' would have sentenced those unfounded fantasies to death, ensuring their success in trivial and gradual inquiries and preventing them from making momentous discoveries at one shot. In a sharp contrast with them, the beginners have no choice but to try, and their courage is sometimes rewarded with phenomena that may be proven crucial later on.

However, discoveries would have remained nonsense without the experts' work, while beginners can rarely make explicit explanations on their own. Experts are more familiar with theories and principles in their fields than beginners, and thus may effectively discern the cause and effect, along with its application. Important as they are, these discoveries can serve to establish a brand new theory, or help prove or disprove a theory not justified, or have a great value in practical use. It is the experts, not the beginners, that abstract the core of the problem, make in-depth analysis, study its inconsistency with current theory if necessary, and form conclusive judgment. Were it not for their knowledge, beginners would be racking their brains to draw absurd inferences from senseless phenomena, which is a waste of time and effort with little yield. Beginners, therefore, owe their gratitude to experts who have turned accidents into well-reasoned integrals.

Thus, the cooperation between beginners and experts becomes significant in the advancement of a certain field of inquiry. Beginners excels in creativity, imagination, and devotion to new things in their own field, with no fear for derision or punishment for failure, while experts are experienced, prudent, and proficient at probing into uncertainties. Both have their distinct advantage and can better themselves by learning from the others. In this way, we can expect beginners to unearth the very essence of their discoveries independently, and experts can free themselves from routines at times to envision in novel perspectives. The beneficiary in turn, is their field of study.

In conclusion, I believe that beginners are more likely to make important discoveries in any field of inquiry, while experts help realize the theoretical or practical value in these discoveries. The optimum combination should be, and always is, that the beginners and the experts work together and learn from each other.

写得真好呀，观点清楚，论证也有理，不过个人认为如果有一点具体例子就更好了。

写得很不错呀。语言上显然经过修饰，句式和词汇都很注意，确实有专家的味道了。感觉不错！

and the maximum efficiency is achieved  我觉得这里的efficiency比较别扭。不如说the optimum point

is best demonstrated in their nature of being beginners这里有点罗嗦。说in the nature of them就可以了。

imong 什么时候考啊？你的时间主要花在什么地方，是花很长的时间构思？还是每一句都精雕细凿啊？

我也很头痛时间的问题，另外，我的思路也很成问题。20多年白活了，阅读的东西太少了。
昨天遇到一个The worldwide distribution of television programs and advertisements is seriously diminishing the differences among cultures.吭哧了半天不知道怎么写？唉！
郁闷的要死，老是没有进步！

Frankly speaking, this issue is competent to be strong, while I am afraid you need to give more thoughtful idea or further develop your idea to get one deserving 6。

idea的生成和推敲决定了我每个issue都要写2个小时
（原材料的语言是不好意思拿上来恶心芸芸众生的）
6分吗，算了吧
我现在成天安慰我自己，就算考0分也无所谓（阿Qing）
紧张啊，主要是时间的问题，我的argument现在是限时45min的

maximum efficiency is achieved 应该改成 can be achieved 吧

turned accidents into well-reasoned integrals 这里应该不是整体和零碎的关系吧,intergral 是不是有些
不对?


观点很清晰啊,很棒的文章.不过我不知道你是不是已经到了要掐时间的阶段呢?
