You come from a Geology background don't you so how do you treat theory simplifications in your field?


No, my background was in mental health/criminal justice. Geology was a hobby for quite a long time, and I still dabble occasionally.
I suppose I was a bit of a nit-picker there as well. When the Open University said one of my answers was wrong, I argued until eventually they admitted I was right. They did say they they were "not looking for that depth of answer"; which I thought was a bit pathetic for a 2nd level university course.

There never was nothing.
