"He who gathers factual information and collects documents, secures the material for an objective discussion, one that is not ruled by emotional reflexes. [...] Figures, reports and transcripts embody facts, rather than mere opinions [...]. No judgement without  evidence."
		Janusz  Korczak, Introduction to Maria Falska Zakład Wychowawczy "Nasz Dom", 1928
