”Scholarship implies an attitude towards truth and a method
of working towards the establishment of truth.
The scholar has no axes to grind. He is not eager to prove
his own hypotheses correct, but rather to find out if they are correct or not.
When he uncovers a fact which does not square with his
hypothesis he neither shuts his eyes to it nor tries to explain it away nor
trims it to fit his own preconceptions, but rather adjusts his hypothesis to
fit the facts.”
(Giles Dawson 1952)
