“We all muddle through life making the best choices we can based on incomplete information, therefore the popular concept of the so-called expert is a complete myth. The word expert implies that an individual knows all there is to know about a particular subject or field of study. Knowledge has no horizon; we achieve great heights only to arrive at the summit and gaze out at the even higher peaks awaiting us.”
- Andrew Laird, Founder T.R.I.P.R.G.
