13. When it comes to "geeky" science folks

(and I am one) that is hard to do.

Everyone has a "specialty" so they will see the "problem" from their own perspective based on their training and experiences.

I think this is actually a common thing that goes on in any "problem-solving" exercise that involves multiple people participating a project. We saw that with the ongoing debate about whether the virus is mostly "droplets" or is (or can be) "aerosolized", and that opened up a can of worms with virologists and HVAC specialists regarding "ventilation" and even "masking".

There is an old saying (that has many variants) that goes - "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" and that is what it comes down to.
