I find this a particularly apt description of science and how science works -- bumbling around in a dark room, bumping into things, trying to figure out what shape this might be, what that might be, there are reports of a cat somewhere around, they may not be reliable, they may be, and so forth and so on.
Smatram ovo posebno  prikladnim opisom znanosti i načina na koji radi -- motati se uokolo u  tamnoj sobi, sudarati se u stvari. pokušavati dokučiti  kojeg oblika bi to moglo biti, što bi to moglo biti, postoje glasine o mački negdje blizu, možda nisu pouzdane, možda jesu i tako dalje i tako bliže.
