Bah!  Do you actually think Dyson's aphorism is in stark juxtaposition to Feynman's?  I thought, by including so much of what Feynman said, it would be less likely anyone would read it wrong.  But if you think Feynman was saying being vague is better than being wrong, you TOTALLY misunderstood what he was saying.

I'm reminded of Otto.  Are we seriously trading aphorisms?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YKbYLb5GVc
