Science Quotes by David L. Wingate (2 quotes)
Even if a scientific model, like a car, has only a few years to run before it is discarded, it serves its purpose for getting from one place to another.
— David L. Wingate
In 'Complex Clocks', Digestive Diseases and Sciences (1983), 28, 1139.
With reference to … dyspepsia, it is saddening to see the perpetuation of the term “functional” as shorthand for “I don’t know the nature of the problem.”
— David L. Wingate
In Letters, British Medical Journal (9 Feb 2002), 324, No. 7333, 364.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
