The European Commission overreached proverb

 The European Commission overreached itself in the G.E.-Honeywell case. It pushed theories like the 'conglomerate effects' theory too far, and fitted the facts of the case to suit the theory.

 I believe without exception that theory follows practice. Whenever there is a conflict between theory and practice, theory is wrong. As far as I'm concerned, we make theories for what people have done.

 Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
  Ray Bradbury

 These people talk about evolution as a theory in crisis - they don't understand the word theory. In layman's terms a theory is just a guess or something unproven, but in science a theory implies something that has been proven and generally accepted as true.

 Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
  Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

 It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct.

 If facts conflict with a theory, either the theory must be changed or the facts.

 What we are speaking to here is a case in which a court, I believe, far overreached the issues involved in a case and declared parenting unconstitutional.

 Marge, I agree with you -- in theory. In theory, communism works. In theory.
  Dan Castellaneta

 I don't want to be the test case for that theory.

 It is not enough for theory to describe and analyze, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.
  Jean Baudrillard

 [The two men, who will share the prize money, have never worked together, but know each other.] They linked us together because he is a producer of game theory and I am a user of game theory, ... I use game theory to help myself understand conflict situations and opportunities.

 There were problems with it (the case) as a matter of legal theory. It was not a slam dunk by any means.

 I believe a case should not be tried in the news media, that a case should be tried - any case should be tried - in a court of law. That would be after all the facts are gathered, all the evidence is in ... and the jury reaches a verdict.
