Conflict and Knowledge

"A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)"

This is today's quote and interestingly I proposed something similar for the TOK presentation:

To what extent would you say conflict promotes the growth of knowledge?

I think that's a brilliant question.

How does it relate to the following IB TOK prescribed essay title from 2008?

In areas of knowledge such as the arts and the sciences, do we learn more from work that follows or that breaks with accepted conventions?

What responses can be give to this?

may be that is true but um not sure. lets think if sth happens between two couples who fall in a real love, don't u think he will tell her if sth is wrong before she start to doubt because he don't want to loose her when that bad time come.

but that is the best way we could find good things.
