'''"Suspension of belief"''' is a new term proposed by intelligence researcher [[Charles Murray]]:
*I propose a new term: 'suspension of belief,' defined as "basing a public-policy stance on an assumption about human beings that one knows to be untrue of oneself." Do you suppose [[Jeanne Allen]] believes herself capable of learning to the highest level if we're talking, say, about [[quantum mechanics]]? Of course not. Only a few silly people who have never tested themselves are under the illusion that they have no educational limits.
