“Lennart Jeppsson gave a nice illustration of this disconnection between material reality (specimens) and immaterial belief (species): “One specimen = one species; two specimens = two species; 100 specimens = one species.”
Simon J. Knell, The Great Fossil Enigma: The Search for the Conodont Animal
“One could understand why so many scientists doubted the validity of books. As vehicles by which progress is made, they have the unfortunate effect of producing a freeze-frame image that is then left to drift into the future, giving the illusion of still being current. The scientific book is an impossibility; almost immediately it is a history book.”
