Lastly, it acts as a check, as well as a stimulus, sifting the value of the evidence, and rejecting that which is worthless, and restraining too eager flights of the imagination and too hasty conclusions.

I really try to divorce myself from any thought of possible use of this stuff. That's part of the discipline.
