Roy's more than superb meditation on the Nobel Laureate acknowledgement of Pinter reminds me of the card in Dr Shaffer's garage. It was a quote from one of his books, don't know which.
"A fact marks the place where inquiry was stopped."
At the risk of lesse praeceptor I amend the thought for clarity:
A fact marks the spot where inquiry was interrupted.
I like saying that "When you make up your mind, your mind stops making."
