....and much study is a weariness of the flesh.....Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Ecclesiastes 12:12/2 Timothy 3:7
"Mathematics is such an open-ended and wonderful world that it is easy to
get lost in it and forget the questions you were trying to answer in
the first place.... It even happens to experienced biologists who can
get lost in a theoretical paradise.
A lot of recent debate on
evolutionary theory has become completely detached from experiment, with
experimentally untestable arguments about the best framework for
studying co-operation.
---This happens because researchers become more
interested in their models than what they are modeling."
