Opposition To The Truth Is Inevitable, Especially If It Takes The Form Of A New Idea, But The Degree Of Resistance Can Be Diminished- By Giving Thought Not Only To The Aim But To The Method Of Approach. Avoid A Frontal Attack On A Long Established Position; Instead, Seek To Turn It By Flank Movement, So That A More Penetrable Side Is Exposed To The Thrust Of Truth. But, In Any Such Indirect Approach, Take Care Not To Diverge From The Truth- For Nothing Is More Fatal To Its Real Advancement Than To Lapse Into Untruth.
