"Pemilihan, untuk bagian mereka, biasanya kontes popularitas daripada ukuran kompetensi atau efektivitas relatif kandidat. Bayangkan jika kebenaran ilmiah ditentukan berdasarkan ilmuwan mana yang paling populer. Untuk menjadi sukses, para ilmuwan harus menjadi karismatik dan menarik - dan pengetahuan manusia akan sangat menderita."

--- Nathan Myhrvold

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Elections, for their part, are typically popularity contests rather than measures of candidates' relative competency or effectiveness. Imagine if scientific truth were determined according to which scientist was most popular. To be successful, scientists would have to be charismatic and attractive - and human knowledge would suffer terribly.
