"In science it often happens that scientists say, "You
know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,"
and then they would actually change their minds and you never
hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It
doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are
human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every
day. I cannot recall the last time something like that
happened in politics or religion." -- Carl Sagan
