In light of some recent threads in response to my posting about the role of peer-review as a key means by which scholarly claims/findings are tested, a couple of epigrams came to mind. So, with no further comment, I give them herewith:
“A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring; There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.” (Opening lines from “A little Learning,” Alexander Pope)
And a quip by the American comic, Jerry Seinfeld: “Sometimes, the road less taken is less taken for a reason.”
