Straight-line and simple ground plans can be communicated very well. They are easily remembered and are extremely influential. But they have their victims. The first and main victim, of course, is the truth. The simple approach fails to represent the complexity of events as they were.

It is related in the Gesta Sanctorum that a sacristan in Canterbury Cathedral surprised the head of Saint Dennis in the library. Reprimanded by its stern custodian, it explained that it was seeking a body of doctrine.

The Wisdom of Carl
There’s a widely held perception that science is ’too hard’ for ordinary people. We can see this reflected in the statistic that only around 10 per cent of American high school students ever opt for a course in physics. What makes science too hard for Americans? What happened to the American genius for science, technical innovation and hard work? Americans once took enormous pride in their inventors, who pioneered the telegraph, telephone, electric light, phonograph, automobile and airplane. Except for computers, all that seems a thing of the past. Where did all that Yankee ingenuity go?
Carl Sagan, The Demon Haunted World (1996)
