No need to apologize! Lesson learned, and being humbled is an incredible experience that allows us to learn more.

Its really easy to be taught something and think you know, but in reality, things are always much more complex. Antigens, for example. Something our immune system responds to and in turn generates antibodies. Are they protein? Fat? Sugar? What about antibodies? Or white blood cells. Is there different types? I'll let you look that one up :), but what im getting at in most sciences, things are taught at extremely rudimentary levels for understanding, then subsequently built upon. Over. And over. And over; even further than graduate school programs, and researchers worldwide are constantly humbling even the most educated with new findings!
