The point is that we are wrong about everything to one degree or another. Maturing intellectually is a never ending process of becoming less wrong about the things we choose to study, but at no point do we ever cross a finish line and become right about anything. As soon as you think you're right about something, the only thing you can be certain of is that you're wrong.

Wrong and right connote a state of absolutes that are often relative and even if not, their usage assumes there will be an end point to deeper levels of understanding. I think not. :-)
