“In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You
know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they
would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them
again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because
scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day.
I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or
religion.” ~Carl Sagan
