"Proof" is not what most people think it is : Respectful Insolence

http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2012/04/proof_is_not_what_most_people_think_it_is.php

one major reason we need science in the first place is because we as
humans suck at observation. Scientists know this. That's why science
is a system, a process, that seeks to minimize human bias and human
cognitive quirks that lead them to leap to the wrong conclusions from
observation
