- Reid: "One begins to twist facts " This quote can be attributed to both The Sign of Four, and Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: "I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."
