Reminds me of the famous story about the Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who
was asked about his displaying a lucky horseshoe, "Surely you don't believe
in such things."  Bohr replied "Of course not, but I understand it brings
you luck whether you believe in it or not."

(I see it has been claimed on the internet that the earliest version of the
story has Bohr seeing the horseshoe, and a friend giving the reply. Shows
you just can't trust anything - especially anecdotal evidence about what
someone says!)
