When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.

  • -- Isaac Asimov 艾萨克·阿西莫夫

当人们认为地球是平的时候,他们错了。当人们认为地球是球形的时候,他们错了。但是,如果你认为认为地球是球形和认为地球是扁平一样错误,那么你的观点就比这两种观点加起来还要错误。
