One of my favorite stories! I find it particularly appropriate for matters of religion as it is such a good illustration that two minds reaching different conclusions may both be right. And it is certainly applicable to our knowledge of PD. We have a dozen possible causes and they may all be correct, just incomplete.

its true, but it is also a problem when you dont know what you are looking for. Current description of PD seems similar to ten blind men describing an elephant they are touching, each has a part of the elephant but no one has a complete picture (this is an Indian story, there must be an equivalent one here!).
