history provides a nice illustration of a point
made by Aristotle:
Lack of experience diminishes our power of taking a comprehensive
view of the admitted facts. Hence those who dwell in intimate
association with nature and its phenomena are more able to lay down
principles such as to admit of a wide and coherent development;
while those whom devotion to abstract discussions has rendered
unobservant of facts are too ready to dogmatize on the basis of a
few observations.
