Dodo Hypothesis: In Lewis Caroll's 'Alice in Wonderland', a dodo led Alice and other creatures in a merry race around an island. Stopping abruptly, the dodo declared Alice and all the runners winners, as he said, "all must have prizes." This dodo hypothesis of every entrant a winner applies exquisitely to the numerous schools of psychology whose members run around in conceptual circles, secure in the knowledge that they deserve prizes, when in their fractious and useless confusion, they are merely dodos.
