"I often say
that when you can measure what you are speaking about and
express it in numbers, you know something about it. But when
you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in
numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory
kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have
scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science,
whatever the matter may be" (attributed to Lord Kelvin,
1883). |
