We constantly build upon prior art and knowledge. The strength and weakness of this approach are one: it focuses multiple perspectives on each topic, from the silly to the profound. If we simply left the knowledge each to it's own (as your friend suggested) it would become static property and we would live within rigid static guilds receiving pronouncements and pursueing only sanctioned research. As it is, we live in a chaotic muddle of claim and counter-claim, out of which we get to pick our own ways. In his world there could be no: 'Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.' We are an incremental species.
