"You will be obliged to get the assistance of a large number of
men who belong to different classes, priceless men, but to whom the
gates of the academies are nonetheless closed because of their social
station. All the members of these learned societies are more than is
needed for a single object of human science; all the societies
together are not sufficient for a science of man in general."
(Diderot ~1777)
