"When psychological scientists speak to or write for general audiences, they should take the opportunity to model the key themes of scientific and critical thinking: that what we know is inseparable from how we know it; that opinions must be based on evidence; that not all opinions have equal validity; and that science gives us probabilities -- only pseudo science gives us certainties." -- Carol Tavris [February 2001 APS Observer ]
