Is It Necessary to Take Other Alternatives Seriously?

I've been putting forward alternative views of developmental biology for years now. I think that what we should do is test other possibilities now. What we need is pluralism, alternative theories being tested and seeing which one's best. It's a kind of monopolistic attitude - like saying the state should own every industry. That's not the way to get things moving in the economy or in innovation. And your sense is that more and more and more time will be asked for and science will atrophy. So it's quite serious in that sense too, isn't it? Yes.
