From Kepler's little book about the structure of the snowflake - that
he wrote as a new year present for a friend and dismissed (if intended
as a joke) as being of no worth?

“the real world - in other words, objective nature - stands behind
everything explorable. In contrast to it, the scientific world picture
gained by experience - the phenomenological world - remains always a
mere approximation, a more or less well divined model.”

*Reject publisher contracts that ask you to waive your legal rights*
Authors are granted the 'moral' right to protect the integrity of their
works in law.
There is no reason for reputable academic publishers to ask authors to
allow them to be able to make changes of any kind, at any time, to
authors' works, without the author's approval.
Scholars should not be prepared to abandon their legal right to object
to changes that undermine the integrity of their scholarly works.
Academics should refuse to sign publishers' contracts that include
clauses that require authors to waive their legal moral rights.
