In today's competitive modern world with explosive information, knowledge is being updated all the time. It is not uncommon to see young beginners that are ready to be called on in all aspects of companies, making great contribution to our society. Some may argue that the beginners is more likely than the expert to make important contributions in any field of inquiry. Admittedly, novices are inclined to be energetic, modest, less conservative and imaginative, which help them learn fast. However, I disagree with the notion stated before and the reasons will be discussed below. First of all, experience extends a person's ken, which bases the possible contribution one can make. Visitors can hardly count on very young consultants when going on a psychological therapy; parents reluctantly trust young teachers who have never raised a child before; patients refuse to be treated by interns, even they are supervised by an instructor. People tend to rely on experts because they have gone through plenty of difficlut situations and ordeals, without which their perception can hardly be objective. When experience matters, experts are more likely to give acute prescriptions and make irreplacable contribution when inquired. What's more, experts usually act as leading roles, which help expand their influence. For instance, literature professor Liang Yongan, a internet influencer who posts his videos online regularly and writes books introducing literature works to the public, has attracted a lot of attention by his penetrating analysises. Act as a bellwether, his trenchant articles and elaborated videos has successfully changed the public's attitudes towards literature and ellicit numerous interesting inquiries he himself. His talks about love, competition, and stress, obviate anxieties of thousands of people. As another example, in the physics world, Newton's principle has been answering countless inquiries about how the world run, the other physicians, adding together, can hardly excel his personal contribution. Nevertheless, it is true that the tyros are more likely to make important contributions in fields which knowledge is frequently updated and experience has limited effect in. Like in the field of AI, breakthrough is happening all the time. GPUs and algorithms become outdated in a very short time and experts find it hard to stick to a certain technology for long.The government finds this specific field worth investing and are continuously cultivating talents. As a result, younger generation is exposed to fresh, first-hand, frontier knowledge. In this case, we see young brains, who have more time to learn, are ruling this area with absolute advantages. If an used-to be OCT expert is asked about the newly-developed big language model principles, he or she might respond like this: sorry, I have no clue. Also, in some certain fields, beginners, instead of experts, directly deal with and contribute to inquiries. For example, only novices tackle telephone service in big companies, experts are usually located in other more important posts, such as managers and superintendents. To conclude, sometimes beginners contribute more to inquiries, but not always. The claim holds true only when a field values experience.

In today's competitive modern world, knowledge is constantly being updated. As a result, it is not uncommon to see young beginners making significant contributions in various fields. Some argue that beginners are more likely than experts to make important contributions in any field of inquiry. While novices possess qualities such as energy, modesty, open-mindedness, and imagination that help them learn quickly, I disagree with the statement for several reasons.
Firstly, experience broadens a person's knowledge and understanding, which forms the foundation for their potential contributions. For example, clients seeking psychological therapy would prefer seasoned consultants over inexperienced ones; parents may hesitate to trust young teachers who have never raised a child before; patients often refuse treatment from interns even under supervision. People tend to rely on experts because they have encountered numerous challenging situations and ordeals that have shaped their perceptions and judgments. When experience matters, experts are more likely to provide insightful solutions and make irreplaceable contributions when consulted.
Moreover, experts often assume leadership roles that expand their influence. Take literature professor Liang Yongan as an example: he has become an internet influencer by regularly posting videos online and writing books introducing literary works to the public. As a thought leader, his incisive articles and well-crafted videos have successfully changed public attitudes towards literature and elicited numerous interesting inquiries from his audience. His discussions on love, competition, and stress have alleviated the anxieties of thousands of people. Similarly, in the world of physics, Newton's principles have answered countless inquiries about how the world functions; other physicists' combined contributions can hardly surpass his personal achievements.
However, it is true that beginners are more likely to make important contributions in fields where knowledge is frequently updated and experience has limited impact. In rapidly evolving fields like artificial intelligence (AI), breakthroughs occur all the time. Graphics processing units (GPUs) and algorithms become outdated quickly, making it challenging for experts to commit to specific technologies. Governments recognize the value of investing in this field and continuously cultivate talent. Consequently, younger generations gain access to cutting-edge knowledge, enabling them to dominate this area with significant advantages. In such cases, an expert in a related but outdated field may struggle to answer questions about newly developed principles.
Additionally, in certain fields, beginners directly address and contribute to inquiries instead of experts. For instance, large companies often assign novices to handle telephone services while experts occupy more critical positions such as managers and supervisors.
In conclusion, while beginners sometimes contribute more to inquiries than experts, this is not always the case. The statement holds true only when a field values experience less than innovation and adaptability. By recognizing the strengths of both beginners and experts, we can better appreciate their unique contributions and foster collaboration between them for greater advancements in various fields.
