Yes but they all died at the age of 38 in terrible pain. As for not discounting ideas: The sum of human knowledge advances by being open to new ideas. We should be open to them. BUT - and it's a huge BUT - anyone proposing a new idea should present EVIDENCE as to its validity. The ideas revealed by Einstein's General Theory and Special theory of relativity are shocking and confound logic and perception, but experiment after experiment has demonstrated beyone any shadow of doubt that the real world behaves as his theories predicted. If I proffer the idea that pianos can be improved by immersion in the sea for a month, you might be interested in, and open to, the idea. But you would want to see peer-reviewed evidence published in reputable journals, supporting my idea, before you would start doing it to your customers' pianos. I think. Best regards, David Boyce.
