The modern attitude, which has proved so significant in science, is safer. The era of mystery-mongering is past. Knowledge which is not verifiable cannot be received with certitude. Overmuch profession of the possession of secret powers opens the doors to imposture. He who is unable to offer adequate evidence had better not seek the public ear. It is only the supersession of human reason that has made it possible to support error for so many centuries.
