        “I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the   
   greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most   
   obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of   
   conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which   
   they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by   
   thread, into the fabric of their lives.”
