But, unfortunately, the human mind is also prone to relax its critical
standards when a pleasing hypothesis of this kind comes along, and to
accept a superficial appearance of observational agreement with the
hypothesis as proof of its validity, without applying the rigorous tests
that sound scientific procedure requires. Neither the scientist nor the
layman has given this hypothesis the kind of critical scrutiny that each
applies to less glamorous ideas. If any serious attempt is made to examine
its credibility, the hypothesis collapses.
