I was simply recommending a personal rule-of-thumb to you, which is simply that the focus of so many expert minds for so many years on the topics that interest me generally means that I'm unlikely to come up with anything really new. It also generally means that if I disagree with the experts on some widely-accepted idea I'm probably wrong about it. Of course this won't always hold true but it's a useful corrective to getting too intoxicated with the originality of one's own insights. If anything, it's a sobering antidote to ego.
