So you 'loathe' not knowing every possible consequence of saying a true thing? That seems a little overly hysterical.

  I think the OP is more about "obvious first order consequences" than "every possible consequence."

    If there was an honest —albeit mistaken— belief that fat was worse for health than carbohydrates, the introduction of fat-free biscuits would be an ostensibly positive first order consequence, regardless of their high sugar content. It is only when the knowledge of the health effects of dietary fat and sugar, as well as their proportions, is revised that we know that this first order consequence was obviously negative.
