Wow, I'm the first commenter?! Well... Feynman is right of course, but I sometimes have the opposite problem: getting my message out and doing it justice despite the fact that I'm not 100% sure I'm right and I, of course, tend to often question my own thinking. In other words, how not to kill your message due to lack of complete certainty.
Good point. Seeing as we are never sure if we are right, we can only be less wrong. Hence, you take the best educated guess... review, adjust as necessary. Start again in a never ending reciprocal dance.
Fooling yourself is why so many paper get re-called when the results cannot be duplicated, and data is hidden from those doing peer review.
