New TGS Motto?

Brucie:

I used a Niels Bohr quote as the tag line of my e-mail signature a while back that said "You're not thinking, you're just being logical". It showed up at some point as a TGS Requotable; not sure if that was coincidence, or if you received something from me with that tag and you later went with it.

The backstory on that one is this: my pathology partner fancies himself a Mr. Spock-like creature, who values logic over all else. I place a premium on logical thought, but in the spirit expressed in the Bohr quote, I think that there are serious limits to logic. The difficulty is how to resolve this without drifting off into flakiness.

In any case, this Bohr quote couldn't be better (pun alert) for a publication like TGS:

“Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.”
