"Ideas insufficiently connected to realities have always been part of the human effort to understand.

"These ideas are, of course, most troublesome when they present themself as virtually indisputable: as idols, or at least icons. As Robert Louis Stevenson wrote many years ago, 'Man is a creature who lives not upon bread bread alone, but principally by catchwords.' Part of the problem is that catchwords of current speech or thought are usually supported, offstage, by more complex, superficially impressive wordplay."
