Being speculative in the sense that one defends certain conclusions based on insufficient evidence is quite different from the sort of speculation that is tentative and arises from a healthy sense of curiosity. The former needs a benevolent teacher, while the latter needs more experience, I think.

Speculation in the sense of exploring and experimenting isn't such a bad thing. That's what Siddhartha did in his effort to find the solution to stress. It's what most of us are doing here, as far as I can tell.
