It is hard to believe the level of arrogance when, right after discovering a new species, scientists are talking about how this might be the last such discovery ever.[1] As if they would not have said a month ago that they would never make such a discovery! Rather than realizing how little they know, they insist this is a fluke, they cannot allow there to be even the smallest chink in their claims of having all the answers. At least, until the next time the rain forest is threatened, then they will remember that there are things out there they have not discovered yet. ;-)
