During the Middle Ages there were all kinds of crazy ideas, such as that a piece of rhinoceros horn would increase potency. Then a method was discovered for separating the ideas - which was to try one to see if it worked, and if it didn't work, to eliminate it. This method became organized, of course, into science. β¨ Richard P. Feynman (2010). Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character: Adventures of a Curious Character, p.338, W. W. Norton & Company
