 greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most 
 obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of 
 conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which 
 they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by 
 thread, into the fabric of their lives.€€€
