"We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, to cover up all the tracks, to not worry about the blind alleys or describe  how you had the wrong idea at first, and so on.  So there isn't any place to publish, in a dignified manner, what you actually did in order to get to do the work."

-- Richard Feynman In his Nobel Lecture, 1966

"Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.' It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with."

...and a paraphrase of Planck ...

"New Ideas are not advanced by convincing the skeptic, but funeral by funeral "

-- Max Planck - early quantum physicist, quoted nearly a century ago
