“When I see those who espouse my cause, I begin to wonder about the validity of my position.”
-Joseph Schumpeter, in Thomas K. McCraw, Prophet of Innovation: Joseph schumpeter and Creative Destruction, p. 221.

One’s opinions are best based on data and logic, and not on who else shares that opinion.
