Good one, Sastry. That's why 'question everything' mindset leads to innovation.

BTW, there is a real case akin to this parable. There was a three layer electric fence between Chechoslovakia and (West) Germany erected during Soviet days to prevent people from cross to the West. Many innocent deer died when they came in contact with the fence. So, they eventually learned not to cross. The fence was gone after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. All the deer which live there were born after that, but they never cross the boarder!! It's a generational learning. Biologists have done studies on these deer and concluded that it would be a few generations before the behavior changes.
