Theory or Practice? Theory : ”Without theory, practice is but routine born out of habit. Theory alone can bring forth and develop the spirit of inventions” Louis Pasteur, 1822-1895 Practice : “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly, one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts” Sherlock Holmes, in “A Scandal in Bohemia” by Arthur Conan Doyle
