What is one to do when able to demonstrate accurate results without being able to demonstrate meaningful method? To some extent, the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan illustrates this enigma.

Ramanujan deployed the wrong method, but achieved the right results that others failed to achieve with their careful, thorough approaches. Are my results being hindered by my method?
