LINE OF THE DAY, part III

Taken from this article on Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis blog:

"When someone is honestly 55% right, that’s very good and there’s no use wrangling. And if someone is 60% right, it’s wonderful, it’s great luck, and let him thank God. But what’s to be said about 75% right? Wise people say this is suspicious. Well, and what about 100% right? Whoever say he’s 100% right is a fanatic, a thug, and the worst kind of rascal."
[preface to Nobel Prize-winning author Czeslaw Milosz's The Captive Mind]
 
Also, please to be enjoying the Daily Show video within the article.
