That's a nice collection of quotes you have there. The two I like best
are:

--Albert Einstein
"There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale
returns of conjecture out of such trifling investments of fact."

--Winston Churchill
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof
against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting
ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation."

It doesn't matter a hoot, within the confines of these newsgroups,
whether or not a snippet of observation can be proved, the
pleasure is derived from the conjecture.
