Person: Yes, science is an open process in which a good idea can come from anybody.
Person: Yes, widely-believed theories are
on occasion
overturned by simple thought experiments.
Person: And yes, your philosophy degree equips you to ask interesting questions sometimes.

Person: But you did not just overturn special relativity, a subject you learned about an hour ago, with your "racecar on a train" idea.

{{Title text: I mean, what's more likely -- that I have uncovered fundamental flaws in this field that no one in it has ever thought about, or that I need to read a little more? Hint: it's the one that involves less work.}}
