I'm taking an Anthropology class this semester. My professor is an archaeologist... which made me think of Indian Jones, of course. Turns out; not all archaeologists are swinging in on ropes like Indy. Nope... it's a bit slower than that. Most work is apparently done with a small trowel. Dirt is moved a bit at a time. You can't just dig into the ground or you might crush a cultural relic. When discussing his dissertation, my professor said, "I've studied the same Mayan artifacts for seven years... that's a long time to look at the same crap."
So.... funnily enough.... it seems everything lately can be translated into the same message. It might not just jump out at you, but if you look at your problem, or goal, or Mayan burial vase from every possible angle, you might just discover something new about it.
A solution.
A strategy.
A new hieroglyph.
An answer.
