I've often heard Einstein's supposed line expressing skepticism about quantum mechanics: "God doesn't play dice with the universe." I somehow hadn't heard, though, Niels Bohr's supposed response: "Einstein, don't tell God what to do." It's a funny commentary, I think, on the role of intuitive judgments of plausibility in evaluating scientific theory. Thanks to [1]Damien Sorresso (in the Huffington Post comments) for the pointer.
