All fact collectors who have no aim beyond their facts are one-story people. Two-story people compare, reason, generalize, using the labor of fact collectors as their own. Three-story people idealize, imagine, predict—their best illumination comes through the skylight. Adapted from a quotation by Oliver Wendell Holmes
