We are in 2016 and not going backwards. We can say any number of past superstitions have lead to where we are now and therefore we should respect what they have had to say. This is grasping at straws to make something worthless in to something worthwhile.
Just like a failed hypothesis should be thrown out and paid no heed, mystic mumbo-jumbo is an utter waste of time. When there is so much more to learn, why in the world would someone want to take a step backwards to re-learn faulty information is beyond me.
Your choice, however.
