Commentary 

I am a firm believer that conventional wisdom leads to conventional results. Whether it is in areas of science, mathematics, or the arts I think a convincing argument can be made that no one ever did anything truly spectacular by following conventional wisdom. There is a reason for this and that is because conventional wisdom is not meant to help one outperform but to learn the basics and more or less blend in.
