灯不拨不亮，理不辩不明 dēng bù bō bù liàng, lǐ bù biàn bù míng.

An oil lamp becomes brighter after trimming, a truth becomes clearer after being discussed.

This saying tells us that facing a complicated problem, only by discussion and debate can we get the correct answer. Truth develops through the comparison of ideas.

Chinese proverb.
