Background
A description of the experience
The first great lesson in the enquiry into these obscure fields of knowledge, [is] never to accept the disbelief of great men or their accusations of imposture or of imbecility as of any weight when opposed to the repeated observation of facts by other men, admittedly sane and honest. (A. R. Wallace)
