This doesn’t invalidate anything Korzybski says, but his quote is nearly the same as Henri Poincare’s on page 1 of “Science and Hypothesis” thirty or more years earlier:
“To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions, each of which absolves us of our responsibility for thinking.”

I think I like Poincare’s better.
