Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other.

Geniuses never pay attention.

All human behavior has a reason. All behavior is solving a problem.

Considering that we live in an era of evolutionary everything---evolutionary biology, evolutionary medicine, evolutionary ecology, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary economics, evolutionary computing---it was surprising how rarely people thought in evolutionary terms. It was a human blind spot. We look at the world around us as a snapshot when it was really a movie, constantly changing.

Expectation works in mysterious ways---and totally unconsciously.
