“In nearly all matters, the human mind has a strong tendency to judge in the light of
its own experience, knowledge and prejudices rather in the light of the evidence
presented. Thus, new ideas are judged in the light of prevailing beliefs. If the ideas
are too revolutionary, that is to say, if they depart too far from the reigning theories
and cannot be fitted into the current body of knowledge, they will not be acceptable.
When discoveries are made before their time they are almost certain to be ignored or
meet with opposition that is too strong to be overcome, so in most instances they
may as well not have been made.” W.I. Beveridge. 1957. The Art of Scientific Investigation. Random House, New York, NY

Hi Simo, tx for sharing the quote.

On a contrary, here is one of my favorites.

Good one Skeggley. On the contrary, make a horse thirst and hungry and it will run to drink water. :lol:
