"Too much openness and you accept every notion, idea, and hypothesis - which is tantamount to knowing nothing. Too much [[skepticism]] - especially rejection of new ideas before they are adequately tested - and you're not only unpleasantly grumpy, but also closed to the advance of science. A judicious mix is what we need."

Too much skepticism - especially rejection of new ideas before they are adequately tested - and you're not only unpleasantly grumpy, but also closed to the advance of science. A judicious mix is what we need." [1] - Carl Sagan
