The secret to wisdom: strong opinions, weakly held. "Bob explained that it was just as important, however, to not be too attached to what you believe because, otherwise, it undermines your ability to 'see' and 'hear' evidence that clashes with your opinions." (via mike)

Update: J.P. Taylor wrote about "extreme views weakly held" in 1977. (thx, rich)
