Neil’s Quote at the Beginning:
“Our greatest failing is that we neglect the significance of a question and obsess over the accuracy of the answer. Therefore, we end up being satisfied with remarkably accurate answers to meaningless questions and dissatisfied with imprecise answers that attempt to respond to the important issues.” D.A. Blankinship, The Scoloderus Conspiracy
