Summary

This quote by Paul Eldridge suggests that in a complex arrangement of facts and information, the essence of truth can often get overshadowed or lost. It highlights how excessive emphasis on details and overwhelming amounts of information can hinder our ability to discern what is truly important and meaningful. Just as a spider's web can entangle and suffocate its prey, the overload of facts can suffocate the inherent truth, making it difficult to recognize or grasp.
