One of my research values

I deem it of more value to find out some truth about however light a matter than to engage in long disputes about the greatest questions without achieving any truth.
Galileo

I encountered this quotation in a Physics Today obituary for an Italian particle physicist Massimilla Baldo Ceolin.
[I often read the obituaries, even of people I have never heard of before. I usually learn some interesting physics and something about what it takes to be an influential scientist].
