Abstrakt
...the past has meaning only in terms of the present. The impartial recovery of the past, uncontaminated by the influence of the present, is held up as a professional ideal, and a criterion of technical competence is the degree to which this ideal is reached. This ideal is, I believe, impossible of attainment, and cannot even be formulated without involvement with meaningless verbalisms.5
