For example, if the old knights refuse to believe Arthur’s new ways, it will die out. Although if there are fewer disagreements and ignorances, the goals can prosper into something bigger. Wind or stupidities are not harmful to solutions; they just need to consider the benefits. Arthur’s plan can still shine through when many knights are blinded by their old ways to considers the new light. Too much stupidity can overwhelm an idea and end it before it can
