Tolstoy Knows Why!

Here you are words which some Evolutionary Computation researchers (and, also, researchers in general) should remember every time they get up from bed:

"I know that the majority of people, including those usually involved with problems of the greatest complexity, rarely accept even the simplest or the most obvious truth if this truth obliges them to admit the falseness of the conclusions which they got, perhaps, with great difficulty, because with these conclusions they delighted themselves when explaining them to their colleagues, they got proud when teaching them to others and that they had sewn, thread by thread, in the weaving of their lives."

Leo Tolstoy (September 9, 1828 - November 20, 1910)
