Extraordinary Claims - Unknown

This quote was added by gtab
They say "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." I disagree. I think many extraordinary claims in math and science have very simple evidence. The fact that e^(i*pi) + 1 is equal to 0 (where i is the square root of -1, e is about 2.7, and pi is about 3.14) is quite extraordinary, but the proof is rather straightforward. I think the existence of extraordinary claims with less than extraordinary evidence makes the extraordinary claims all the more extraordinary.
