    In his talk, Feynman made the point that before publishing any scientific results, we should think of all the possible ways that we could be wrong. “The first principle” he said, “is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.”

That is a powerful statement to make. Feynman is one of the most interesting people, I really need to get around to reading Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!.
