"The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant:
'What good is it?'. If the land mechanismas a whol is good, then every
part is good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the
course of eons, has built something we like, but do not understand, then
who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog
and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering."
Aldo Leopold, Round River, 1953.
