NO CONFIRMATIONS [10.26.97]

As a matter of fact, no confirmed prediction can be taken as evidence that one has struck bedrock truth. At best, the confirmation of a prediction is no more than tentative evidence that one may be on the track of something. The psychology of living in a world that is largely unknown - and in rapid transition besides - leads us to hope for little more than ad interim support for our beliefs.
