On the other hand believing nothing because of lack of "proof" is what
the Tobacco Industry has lobbied for years----and they don't seem to
have trouble getting "scientists" to support their concept that "there
is no proof" that smoking causes lung cancer.
Maybe the phrase I learned decades ago: "be not the first to accept the
new nor the last to leave the old behind" could serve as an analogy to
when we gradually increase our belief in new information.
