Have you ever heard the story of the five blind men and the elephant? Each blind man is led up to the elephant and reaches out to touch it. The first blind man takes hold of the elephant’s trunk and says “Ah-ha! The elephant is like a snake!” The second takes hold of the elephant’s tail, and confidently declares that the elephant is like a piece of rope. The third, taking hold of one of the elephant’s tusks, is satisfied with the discovery that an elephant is like a spear, and so on.
