All I can say is you're really brave!

Uh-huh, every single scientific discovery was made by someone sitting in 
a corner reading books all day.  One day you'll learn the merits of 
prefacing your bold assertions with the words "some", "most", "many", etc.

What gives you the impression that there aren't a lot of discoveries 
these days?  Leaving that point aside, one obvious reason why we have 
this 'systemized education'  is that often new discoveries come from 
people challenging older theories, attempting to explain phenomena which 
aren't fully understood, expanding on past discoveries etc.  These 
discoveries aren't made in a vacuum, many rely on building blocks laid by 
the great scientists of the past.  It would be foolish to reinvent the 
wheel when there is so much to learn from.

Not supposed to ask ourselves questions?  Is that not what university is 
supposed to be all about?  If you choose to spend your time at McGill 
just reading textbooks that's your choice, but that's certainly not my 
idea of what university is about.

Good luck, I look forward to hearing about the results of your experiment.

: Take care.
