I believe that ideas such as absolute certitude, absolute exactness,
final truth, etc. are figments of the imagination which should not
be admissable in any field of science...This loosening of thinking
seems to me to be the greatest blessing which modern science has
given us. For the belief in a single truth and in being the
possessor thereof is the root cause of all evil in the world.
