you dont really need to understand how something works to know if it works.

theres 8 billion of us because of farming. most of the farmers dont really know how it all works.

woudln't it be cool to make nodules and go drop them in barren parts of the ocean and then they become seeded?

...Ag science is a bloody thing, and if you don't think it takes a lick of knowledge to be a farmer, I welcome you to try being one yourself in order to free yourself of this frankly distateful, nay, disgusting hubris.

I acknowledge that industrial farmers go to university, etc, but of the 8 billion people, most of the farmers probably dont really know whats going on. they just know what to sorta do with the plants.

which was true 10,000 years ago before humans even know what cells or photosynthesis was. people had farms then.

so the point is, even without a genuine understanding, if the causal relationship between seeding parts of the ocean and the desired result is achieved, then an understanding wouldnt be necessary.
