So my antagonist said, "is it impossible that there are flying saucers? can you prove that it's impossible?" "no," i said, "i can't prove it's impossible. it's just very unlikely." at that he said, "you are very unscientific. if you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?" but that is the way that is scientific. it is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.

It is wrong for a man to say that he is certain of the objective truth of any proposition unless he can produce evidence which logically justifies that certainty. this is what agnosticism asserts; and, in my opinion, it is all that is essential to agnosticism. that which agnostics deny and repudiate, as immoral, is the contrary doctrine, that there are propositions which men ought to believe without logically satisfactory evidence; and that reprobation ought to attach to the profession of disbelief in such inadequately supported propositions.

When you start out on a career in the arts you have no idea what you are doing. this is great. people who know what they are doing know the rules, and know what is possible and impossible. you do not. and you should not. the rules on what is possible and impossible in the arts were made by people who had not tested the bounds of the possible by going beyond them. and you can. if you don't know it's impossible it's easier to do. and because nobody's done it before, they haven't made up rules to stop anyone doing that again, yet.
