re: #196 Kid A

Exactly. Why wouldn’t learning from mistakes and new information be a good thing?

I get the same thing during evolution/creationism debates and the like. They float something like “well science has been wrong in the past”. To which I usually pound home the point that such is exactly the point. Science never claims to be 100% correct, quite the opposite. But it also has a built in method for determining incorrect theories and revising/replacing them. Why wouldn’t I want to be part of something that is always striving to search for the truth rather then believing that I already have the whole truth?
