Abstract
The six previous speakers who have been privileged to give the Edwards Memorial Lecture have been distinguished in particular areas of either science or technology and have confined themselves to speaking on the subjects of their experience and expertise. This lecture will be distinctive, if less distinguished, since the subject is one on which there is no evidence of achievement or expertise by the lecturer and the subject does not fall within any formal academic discipline. The defence rests with the poet Walt Whitman who wrote “There is that indescribable freshness and unconsciousness about an ignorant person that humbles and mocks the power of the noblest expressive genius”.
