+  It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held
+  prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to
+  be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true. We have a
+  method, and that method helps us to reach not absolute truth, only
+  asymptotic approaches to the truth &mdash; never there, just closer
+  and closer, always finding vast new oceans of undiscovered
+  possibilities. Cleverly designed experiments are the key.&lt;/p&gt;
