Details

Marco Polo believed in unicorns and went looking for them in his trips to Asia. When he finally came across an animal that fitted his conception of having a horn on his head – a rhinoceros – he was bound by his paradigm and convinced that the mystical animal was sighted.

To accuse him of lying is probably not a fair statement. He merely over-relied on the consensus construct of information and available data.

Paradigms and methodologies can be very effective tools to use, however we run the risk of being constrained by the context.
