Abstract
History is able to teach us scientists, among others, that the results obtained in every epoch are determined primarily by the technological means available at the time in question — another reason to be cautious of every scientific “truth.” Any claim that a given finding is true or untrue should be abandoned. Only statements whether findings are sound or unsound with respect to the methods available at their times should be admitted.
