knowledge ice water
If [science] tends to thicken the crust of ice on which, as it were, we are skating, it is all right. If it tries to find, or professes to have found, the solid ground at the bottom of the water it is all wrong.

Samuel Butler

If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives.
