Are We Not All Guilty?

Posted on September 16, 2021 by Ray V.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts”

-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

He died almost 100 years ago and we still haven’t learned that lesson.

It is prevalent in politics, the news and the workplace.
