Epilogue
“It happens quite naturally that men who believe too firmly in their theories do not believe enough in the theories of others. We must disregard our own opinion quite as much as the opinion of others, when faced with the decisions of experience.
When two physiologists or doctors quarrel, each to maintain his own ideas or theories, in the midst of their contradictory arguments, only one thing is absolutely certain; that both theories are insufficient, and neither of them corresponds to the truth. . . . We really know very little, and we are all fallible when facing the immense difficulties presented by investigation of natural phenomena.”
