It doesn't matter how beautiful the guess is, or how smart the guesser is, or how famous the guesser is; if the experiment disagrees with the guess, then the guess is wrong. That's all there is to it. - physicist Richard Feynman

Oh, how quaintly outdated physicist Richard Feynman is!

Global Warming News From The Brits (UK dooms itself)

If the experiment disagrees with the guess, the experiment is wrong; change the data!
