You might be interested in an excerpt from a Buddhist work:
"The nature of man is changeable, from day to day, now questioning what
he does not understand, tomorrow not having the same questions because of
what he has learned."
Neither Zen nor Level-3 would deny the writer of such a book the
opportunity to change his understanding, as he learns more about any
given subject.
