The current discussions about the perceived reasonableness of
chaotic dynamics to the uninitiated and the initiated reminds
me of a famous quotation, as follows:
`` I know that most men, including those at ease
with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept
even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would
oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions they reached
perhaps with great difficulty, conclusions which they have
delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly
taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread,
into the fabric of their lives.''
Leo Tolstoy.
