... the epistemological anarchist has no compunction to defend
the most trite, or the most outrageous statement. ... he may use
reason, emotion, ridicule, an `attitude of serious concern' and
whatever other means have been invented by humans to get the better
of their fellow men. His favourite pastime is to confuse rationalists
... There is no view, however `absurd' or `immoral', he refuses to
consider or to act upon, and no method is regarded as indispensable.
-Paul K Feyerabend "Against Method"
