Pooh Bear scholarship

A funny quote about the tendency for scholars to find a position more credible from the growing abundance of citations by other scholars:

... it’s like Winnie the Pooh following his own tracks in the snow around a clump of trees and each time he sees more tracks he takes this as evidence that his quarry is even more numerous and more real than he thought before!
