If observed facts of undoubted accuracy will not fit any of the alternatives it leaves open, the system itself is in need of reconstruction.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors.
But that the reasoning from these facts, the drawing from them correct conclusions, is a matter of great difficulty, may be inferred from the imperfect state in which the Science is now found after it has been so long and so intensely studied.
I can't think of a major story that we have broken that was incorrect. But we have had to correct some things that were false; we have had to retract things.
Accuracy is to a newspaper what virtue is to a lady, but a newspaper can always print a retraction.
Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
In some instances, the accuracy of past-life memories can be objectively verified, sometimes with remarkable detail.
In a few decades of reconstruction, even the mathematical natural sciences, the ancient archetypes of theoretical perfection, have changed habit completely!
Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.
Well the way we perceive accuracy and what accuracy is statistically are really two different things.
Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty.
