Quotes
- “Neither the of the experiments of a given series, nor the agreement of the result of series of experiments by different observers, can excuse us from search for sources of error. All sciences which have to do with measurement afford sufficient instances of the fact that our conclusions are to be received with a certain suspense of judgment.”
