Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"Journalists are taught to believe that truth is made entirely of opinions, and that a fact is just an opinion held by a powerful enough majority. The very principle of science is really hard for them to understand. All they've worked out is that scientists can be used for an appeal to authority, but they have a compulsion to undermine it because it really bothers them that a person can somehow become an authority by some mysterious means other than popularity and/or force." -- ceruleanst, 2010-01-15
