About a year ago i entered a solution to a problem a companies had. They were struggling with the problem at least 10 years.
For me, it was well known how to solve it, for at least 15 years, but i am not very keen on sharing my business secrets.
However, through a site, i could deposit my solution anonymous in detail.
That way they paid me some thousand dollars and everybody is happy.
What i want to say is: one expert is just one expert. Even 100 experts are just 100 experts.
There is always somebody with another creative solution, if it would have been obvious, it would have been solved already.
So, the solution can not be found in the "regular scene". Therefore i am not so keen on the "manuscript experts".
To get a transcript of a famous poem of a famous manuscript, i have to put in a huge amount of work.
They hide their knowledge and transcriptions on very well known manuscripts are guarded as if it is gold.
On the other hand they write that such manuscript are the heritage of "their country and their people", and yet, they hide the contents from them.
It makes me angry and disappointed. But i've found this same behavior in almost every country in Europe.
