"An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society that scorns excellence in plumbing because it is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."
John Gardner, Excellence, 1961
