Chance Favors Those Who Are Prepared.

When You Believe You Have Found An Important Scientific Fact, And Are Feverishly Curious To Publish It, Constrain Yourself For Days, Weeks, Years Sometimes, Fight Yourself, Try And Ruin Your Own Experiments, And Only Proclaim Your Discovery After Having Exhausted All Contrary Hypotheses.
