Pasteur’s scientific legacy
As geniuses go, Pasteur was the opposite of Einstein. To get inspiration for his theories, Einstein imagined riding aside a light beam or daydreamed about falling off a ladder. Pasteur stuck to experiments. He typically initiated his experiments with a suspected result in mind, but he was scrupulous in verifying the conclusions he drew from them. Preconceived ideas, he said, can guide the experimenter’s interrogation of nature but must be abandoned in light of contrary evidence. “The greatest derangement of the mind,” he declared, “is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so.”

Wow. You said that and now savanna idiocy makes perfect sense: They
evolved the ability to stand upright & endurance run by standing upright
and endurance running.

Wow, you said that it now it makes perfect sense: They fell out of a tree,
landed on a savanna, ran after an antelope & wound up in China... exactly
as you always argued.
Where did they put the Domeshield while they were eating?
