Randy Oliver:

> I suggest that your use of the word "probably" may be ill-advised unless you can substantiate it with data.

Claude Bernard (1813 - 1878):

> Proof that a given condition always precedes or accompanies a phenomenon does not warrant concluding with certainty that a given condition is the immediate cause of that phenomenon. Theories are only hypotheses, verified by more or less numerous facts. Those verified by the most facts are the best, but even then they are never final, never to be absolutely believed.
