Summary

This quote suggests that a person's judgment of themselves, particularly in scientific matters, differs from the judgments made by others due to the additional sources of knowledge they possess. It implies that individuals have access to personal insights, experiences, and understanding that outsiders lack, leading to divergent perspectives. Therefore, when it comes to evaluating oneself scientifically, it is essential to recognize the unique insights and expertise that one's personal sources of knowledge bring to the table, distinguishing their judgments from those made by others.
