Ah, so a reference to a reference.
Reminds me of a college friend who watched the 1948 film "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre". When Bogart asks the bandits (who claim to be Federales) to show their badges, they
respond with the classic, "we don't need no stinking badges!"* My friend had been using that line for many years without knowing where it came from.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
