I do so love lewis.
"In our age, I think it would be fair to say that the ease with which a scientific theory assumes the dignity and rigidity of fact varies inversely with the individual's scientific education. In discussion with wholly uneducated audiences I have sometimes found matter which real scientists would regard as highly speculative, more firmly believed than many things within our real knowledge."

The real reason why Copernicus raised no ripple and Galileo raised a storm, may well be that, whereas the one offered a new suppose about celestial motions, the other insisted on treating the supposal as fact. If so, the real revolution consisted not in a new theory of the heavens but in 'a new theory of the nature of theory'.
