The expert in any field is the one who knows when you can force something, and when you absolutely should not force it.
This is true in therapy, in sales, in management.
I can attest from bitter experience that it is true in plumbing and in comedy.
Thought-experiment tells me it is true in sports, research, and poetry.
I like it.
ReplyDeleteOccasionally experts in each of those fields can execute maneuvers that non-experts would have to force.
Of course, in Theatre (where everything is false and fabricated) we had something called "forced perspective" where the floor, walls and ceiling would be tilted to make the viewer think the space was bigger than it really was.
