But what does 'tolerance of gray areas' mean?
Does it mean 'treating all ideas as equally grey as an excuse
to remain overly suspicious of old, established ideas while regarding
new, untested ideas with more credibility than they deserve'?
Does it mean 'respecting the rights of gray areas by refraining from
tryin to make them any less gray'?
Or does it simply mean 'acknowledging that there is a degree of
uncertainty in all ideas, and dealing with that rationally'?
