Re: Why Krugman is Wrong- twice (4.00 / 6)

As I already said, but much better worded:

"most men - not only those considered clever, but even those who are very clever and capable of understanding most difficult scientific, mathematical, or philosophic, problems - can seldom discern even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as obliges them to admit the falsity of conclusions they have formed, perhaps with much difficulty -- conclusions of which they are proud, which they have taught to others, and on which they have built their lives." Leo Tolstoy.

"Ce qui vient au monde pour ne rien troubler ne mérite ni égards ni patience." René Char

"Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof."
