Understanding the validity of this argument can help the readers to weigh their preferences as far as knowledge acquisition is concerned thus helping in reducing the superiority that might be directed towards some fields when compared to others. The paper aims at distinguishing the argument of the topic from the realistic circumstance in the real world scenario where knowledge produced
