----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- I saw this on an e-mail list yesterday. I don't have access to Asimov's book, but it is such a nice statement, I would like to fine the original source. It seems to have been in a comment on Kepler. "Give me a fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You can keep your sterile truth for yourself." -Vilfredo Pareto, quoted in Asimov's Book of Science and Nature Quotations, p. 84.
