I was completely brainwashed by the Wind in the Willows to think weasels were evil and thought that for years, but then I met one waiting for a tram in Edinburgh and look how cute they are! Love them now

"Have I told you about my time in East Germany, Potter? We were smuggling one of their top physicists into the West, he was wanting to defect so moved quickly in case the Americans got their hands on him.
The plan went well until a silly border guard tried to stop us. Poor young man, but I had no choice.
You're very dear to me, Potter, but unfortunately I'm reminded of that mission every time I look at you."

Ok the "math conjectures are groupthink" meme is going too far. RH, Con(ZFC), Goldbach, and Collatz all have plenty of evidence to justify at least 95% confidence. I'd take 20:1 odds up to $20k vs $1 against any one of your choosing being refuted in the next decade.
