The contents of this post were lost while writing and I did not have the time to write them again. Unfortunately now (Jan 2012) I am unable to remember the contents. The jist of the matter was that there is far more knowledge out there than mankind throughout history can accumulate (let alone one man) and hence it is not the answers that are important per se, but the question is even more important. An interesting/intriguing/correct question is better than a thousand inconsequential answers.
