Montesquieu says: "IIya des choses que tout le monde dit, parce
qu'elles ont etc dites un fois." Many stupidities of history and dog-
matic denials ofthe past have no otherwarrant. Instead ofrepeating
anything "because it has been said once," it is better to accept the
results ofconscientious investigation.
