Not having quick access to the YBQ, I apologize if the following is
well-known.  It certainly amused me.

"Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as
ornithology is to birds,"  Attributed to the late Richard Feynman,
and repeated by Steven Weinberg.  New York Times, December 18, New
England Edition, D4/5.
