Order Bias

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or bias:

    In order to shake a hypothesis, it is sometimes not necessary to do anything more than push it as far as it will go.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation, and the credit of truth and honesty is as safe; nor have I any fear that a skeptical bias can be given by leaning hard on the sides of fate, of practical power, or of trade, which the doctrine of Faith cannot down-weigh.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
