“Mr. Darwin's hypothesis is not, so far as I am aware, inconsistent with any known biological fact; on the contrary, if admitted, the facts of Development, of Comparative Anatomy, of Geographical Distribution, and of Palaeontology, become connected together, and exhibit a meaning such as they never possessed before; and I, for one, am fully convinced that if not precisely true, that hypothesis is as near an approximation to the truth as, for example, the Copernican hypothesis was to the true theory of the planetary motions.” IfsFactsTogetherKnownExampleTheoryDevelopmentConnectedConvincedContraryPossessedHypothesisDistributionExhibitsAnatomyInconsistentApproximation Author:Thomas Huxley
“The fact that used cars is our largest category is a good example. We would not have sat in a conference room and said, "Hey, how about used cars?"

“An engineer can look at the data, but he needs a translator from the cockpit - the driver - to understand it completely. For example, only the driver can tell you why he abruptly takes his foot off the gas pedal at a certain point. The data doesn't necessarily tell the engineer whether the driver made a mistake at that point or the car was acting up. The information the driver provides often helps determine the direction of development.” NeedsLooksMadeHelpingCertainActingMistakeFeetCarInformationExampleDevelopmentDetermineDataGasDriversEngineersMade A MistakeTranslatorsPedalsCockpit Author:Michael Schumacher

“An observer will see the bizarre developments of behavior only in alien cultures, not his own. Nevertheless this is obviously a local and temporary bias. There is no reason to suppose that any one culture has seized upon an eternal sanity and will stand in history as a solitary solution of the human problem. Even the next generation knows better.
