When you can measure what you are
speaking about,
|
|
|
|
and express it in numbers, you know something
about
|
|
|
it:
but when you cannot express it in numbers, your
|
|
|
|
knowledge
is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind: it
|
|
|
|
may
be the beginning of knowledge, but you have
|
|
|
|
scarcely,
in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of
|
|
|
|
science.
