I doubt that he will entertain that...nor care about it Will He is
happy how his business is going as what he expected.
Indeed I was doubtful about their claim( that they just feed and
refresh their starter once a day) at first and had asked the respected
personalities of that bakery who know more about their stuff; and had
observed their methods caredully ,not only a few times..and I was
convinced of its reality... .
For me its a good experience to know of different ways in making
sourdough; (and to keep in mind)the established knowldedge and lore of
that area is not absolute but relative and continously evolving. .
There are always exception to the rule... I doubt if Dr. Woods and
Sugihara,Ganztle,Spicher etc... will believe on such technique as
well.... but may find some plausible explanation if they will dig
deeper in the microbiology and chemistry of sourdough; and rethink the
established model while doing further studies in that area. to
confirm if the technique is really scientifically reasonable.
Its reminds me of the history of Physics IIRC in the start of the 20th
century that there is nothing new to know more about in physics, it but
was shattered by the theory of Relativity. and quantum mechanics. And
its not the end of it ....
Currently there is much interest on string theory . .which was
predicted to have far reaching implications on the idea of physical
reality as explained in multiple dimensions( beyod three dimensional
space model we are familar with.
The morals here is always to keep an open mind, (that even on such
mundane things like sourdough breadmaking. ) and accept the fact tha we
still have much to learn about everything in this world.
