Many fools believe the surest way to appear clever is by declaring dissatisfaction with compelling explanations, as if they see deeper, and by denying widely attested phenomena, as if they see beyond the myths. It seems that some amongst them have achieved such mastery of this trick that it comes as a natural reaction without conscious pretence.

Indeed, and if these fools would only remember:

"It is better to be silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

I'll shut-up now.
