Philosophy 265    Philosophy of Science Theodore Gracyk

"Which facts are you going to observe? [Poincaré] asked. There is an infinity of them. There is no more chance that an unselective observation of facts will produce science than there is that a monkey at a typewriter will produce the Lord's prayer." (Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, 1974, p. 237)
