Lessons from Sherlock Holmes - Trust the facts, not your version of them:
“But like Watson, it is something that we are all too prone to do. Often, our mind conflates the world and our own interpretation of it without much thought. We simply assume that the way we see is the way it is. And once that way is verbalized, put into specific words with specific meanings, it becomes all the more difficult to parse. It’s Shakespeare’s “thinking makes it so” at the most basic level: not giving a value judgment, but even before that, imagining the world to be a specific way because that is how you thought it was.
Holmes knows better.”
