Very true, but the Wright brothers didn't say "Let's try the same methods
that failed for all those other guys." They also didn't say "Let's try to
make our airplane work by flying repeatedly into an impenetrable barrier."

Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster. And if you gaze into
the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. Nietzsche, in "Beyond Good and Evil."
