When a suggestion is first broached in science, however tentatively, it can be, and often is bolstered by little pieces of information which up to that point may well have seemed extraneous. These can now be picked up and cemented in place. Indeed, Anna once gave a lecture called "the Stained Glass Window Lecture," explaining that all scientists have these little pieces of colored glass, intriguing bits of information or facts which they didn't quite know what to do with. They leave them lying around until, prompted by a new idea or a new piece of information, they mentally sift and select the ones that may help the pattern. (quoted in John Steiner, 1985, p. 186)
