The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error
is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth
are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world
turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another
error, and maybe one worse than the first one.
-- H. L. Mencken
