  2. “I like the scientific spirit, the holding off,

  3. the being sure,

  4. but not too sure,

  5. …the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them, this is ultimately fine…

  6. it keeps the way beyond open.”

  7. Here Whitman has drawn attention to something incredibly important

  8. Science is open and moves on inexorably

  9. All other constructs are locked in immutable nascent dogma for all eternity

  10. Totally impervious to rational criticism

  11. …even some scientists, who should know better, do not appreciate this as is obvious by what they write!

  12. I like the scientific spirit – the holding off, the being sure - but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them, this is ultimately fine – it keeps the way beyond open. Walt Whitman
