> Yes, we should try to be as objective as possible when investigating new theories, however, that said, we should also be open-minded, not solely critical.
Critical, the way I use it, is objective. The meaning I use is "characterized by careful analysis". That meaning arises directly from the Greek, krites, a judge. The derivative form, criterion, means "any established law, rule, principle, or fact, by which a correct judgment may be formed."
