Cant disagree with the things you said and, I dont have any more specifics because everything I know comes from what I read. Thank you very much for taking the time to critique my comment; now no one can come away with any misunderstanding of whats going on.
I did skim through everything in your post #2 before commenting. It would be a big time-saver if only we knew which 20% of an article to read to get 80% of the information. By the way, I pointed out what I considered irrelevant from another poster after reading enough to know what both articles are about, not as a result of missing something.
And to set the record straight on serendipity, I actually firmly believe almost everything we attribute to luck or accept as random are anything but.
Definitely. There is a saying I was fortunate to hear early in life:
"It takes a lifetime of effort and determination to become an overnight success."
