"[A] scientist must also be absolutely like a child.  If he sees a
thing, he must say that he sees it, whether it was what he thought he
was going to see or not.  See first, think later, then test.  But always
see first.  Otherwise you will always see what you were expecting.  Most
scientists forget this." - "Wonko the Sane", _So Long, And Thanks For
All The Fish" (Douglas Adams)
