every term, during the last class session, I show a tape of a 60 Minutes interview with Robert Rines, the MIT professor who is/was looking with great seriousness for Nessie. In the interview he says: "Too much knowing can prevent innovation. It can prevent you from looking."

I think that's a great sentiment to roundout a class. (Of course, with my unreliable hearing, the first time I heard the interview I thought he said "... can prevent inner vision." I'm not sure which version I like better.)

Nessie is the one time my logical side loses. And I guess my Scottish side wins. I believe, just 'cause it's fun to believe.
