You see what comes out, not the script that produces events, [...] The generator of historical events is different from the events themselves, much as the minds of the gods cannot be read just by witnessing their deeds.” quote by Nassim Nicholas Taleb](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b20/nassim-nicholas-taleb-352_deeds_history-is-opaque-you-see-what-comes-out_237423.jpg)
