Acceptance

One of the most impressive traits of science is that it shows the humility to write an uncertainty at the end of the calculation. It is utterly ironic that the humbleness to not claim absolute knowledge, one of the characteristics that makes science so virtuous, is simultaneously the worst nightmare of the mind that conceived it. Thus, humans, when faced with discomfort, are the first to point out the small uncertainty and to reject unwanted results, in likeness to the hungry mouth that spits on the feeding hand when it fails provide total and absolute satisfaction.
