The Fantastic Mr Feynman

“You data types.”  That’s something I’ve actually heard several times.  It gets me thinking of this Feynman quote every time (see below).  

Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan are hero’s of mine because they weren’t just highly influential scientists but they had a poetic way of explaining things (for Sagan see The Pale Blue Dot which was part of a reading at my wedding).  Feynman was a real character (safe cracker one week, physicist the next) , a polymath and it’s well worth reading his life story if not his work.  In the quote below Feynman explains why knowledge/data can only ever be a good thing.  The more information you have, the more you appreciate what you are analysing.
