Careful: Every progress was done by people who ran counter of what the
vast majority of knowledgeble people said. I've read a lot of pretty
inaccurate information posted by seasoned pilots in this group.

For every Galileo there are a million crackpots. It is up to the Galileos of
the world to prove that they are right. If they can't do that, they are
crackpots. If you wanted to see if Galileo was right, all you had to do was
look through his telescope. All that Cayley had to do to prove his lift
equations was build a glider. That is the difference between pioneers and
crackpots. If you want to tell me that lift is caused by lift gremlins, you
better show me some gremlins.
