* an irrelevant bit of old verse:

The Sperm Whale's too big for a pet -
It needs a whole ocean - and yet
The Pygmy Sperm Whale can live in a pail
If the pail is the size of Tibet.

"[The] two fundamental steps of scientific thought - the conjecture  
and refutation of Popper - have little place in the usual conception  
of intelligence. If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is  
surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind  
seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely  
abandoned." Ghiselen, 1969. Triumph of the Darwinian Method, p 237.
