...back then to ask of what value was fire, considering the problem of substandard caves. Thank heavens for those who asked way back why not instead of why, and for those who throughout history agreed with Norwegian Explorer Fridtjof Nansen that "it is ... of no purpose to discuss the use of knowledge-man wants to know, and when he ceases to do so he is no longer...
