改了很多遍的issue,希望得到指点

165． In any given field, the leading voices come from people who are motivated not by conviction but by the desires to present opinions and ideas that differ from those held by the majority.
The leading voice: 理解为占主导的声音，不知道对不对
在任何一个领域，主流的声音总是出自那些想要标新立异的人们的口中，而不是那些推崇定论的人
Disagree:
1. state personal opinion: disagree
2. the conception of leading voice
3. the common misunderstanding of distinguish voices and why they are not surely become leading voice
4. the importance of leading voice and point out the reason some of them can replace the original ones
5. sum: hold a healthy attitude toward distinguish voices
这篇文章我呕心沥血改了很多遍，希望能看懂，

Frankly I do not agree with the allegation that the leading voices come from people who are motivated by the desire to present their distinguish ideas. Such an allegation negates and misunderstands the original aim of those people who are devoted to exploring the truth without being dwarfed by the conviction. What they are engaging in seeking is the truth of the world, rather than a certain identity to be noticed by the majority. Neither do I agree that the leading voices only come form those distinguish opinions, rather that convictions.

First we should make it clear that what can be called leading voices. Leading voices in any given field represent the dominating ideas which have a considerable number of supporters in this field. The question whether an opinion is a leading one or not is determined by the nature of the opinion, rather than whether the opinion is conformed to the conviction or not. If the ideas speak out the truth or some convincible facts, they will naturally be called the leading voices. On the contrary, if they only express some thought, which are different from majority, even they seems novel at first, if they can not stand the scientific evaluation, they can only be called different voices, rather than leading voices. Sometimes, if the content of these different voices contradict the truth or undermines the social welfare and development, such voices can only fall into the category of heresy.

Some gifted psychologists have found out that people incline to behave differently so that they can call the attention of others. The desire to present opinions and ideas, which differ from those hold by the majority, is likely the result of such an inclination. Obviously, this simple motivation can not ensure these distinguish voices reflect the truth and should be respected as the leading voices. It is easy to claim a distinguish opinion toward the conviction which has been existed for a long time. But it is difficult to convince the majority of its correctness. Only when the distinguish idea win the support of a considerable group of disciples, the voice can be called the leading voice in this field.

Here, I do not mean to debase the importance of distinguish voices. Actually, we should realize that the development of the civilization is accompanied with the breakthrough of contemporary convictions. However it does not follow that any distinguish opinion will have some advantages over the existing conviction. Only when the new theory has more persuasion than the old conviction, the new one can replace the old and become the leading voice. Copernicus is a famous astronomer. His theory, the earth and other planets revolve around the sun, altered totally the astronomy system. But it is not because the theory contradicted to the contemporary system of astronomy so that Copernicus gained his repute. It is in that Copernicus’s theory sounds more convincible compared with the old one. Just because of those adventurous explorers like Copernicus who were not satisfied with the existing knowledge system and bravely brought out their original ideas, society could advance to today’s degree. So the spirit and the courage to suspect present conviction should be encouraged by society. It provides the impetus for the progress and propels the advancement of wheels of times.

The crucial point is that to be different from the majority should not be our ultimate goal during the process of poring over the truth. Searching after the truth and uncovering then mysterious mask are more important than the individual achievement. Neither leading voices surely come from those convictions, nor do they surely come from distinguishing voices that can call mass attention. Only those theories, drown form empirical experience, can survive form the carping of the mass and become leading voices in various fields.
