But about governments who claim absolute knowledge. I thought that the Bronowski quote painted that picture in words that anybody could understand. He uses science and politics as a metaphor. He's a passionate humanist, as am I. I thought people here would see things through the historic lens that Bronowski lays down.

Apparently, I was wrong. No wonder we're in so much trouble.

Thanks for responding.
