My favorite quote:

> I like to think that, if I were not a professional cosmologist, I would still find it hard to believe that hundreds of cosmologists around the world have latched on to an idea that violates a bedrock principle of physics, simply because they “forgot” it. If the idea of dark energy were in conflict with some other much more fundamental principle, I suspect the theory would be a lot less popular.

You go into a cafe and order a slice of cake. One is delivered. You order three more, three more are delivered. You conclude that the kitchen has infinite cakes based on the observable evidence. That's the argument.
