Recently seen quote on Gelman's blog:
“No scientific worker has a fixed level of significance at which from year to year, and in all circumstances, he rejects hypotheses; he rather gives his mind to each particular case in the light of his evidence and his ideas.”
(Ronald A. Fisher, 1956, p. 42)

True Quote. The level of significance is really a good measure but not exact one.
