- talmand 13y agoTIL that Asimov supported the notion of "nearly right", which is good enough as long as you tried really hard and could explain how you got to your incorrect answer.
- summerdown2 13y ago"Nearly right" is good enough, providing it's within the accuracy you need for any particular job.
- talmand 13y agoI suppose that depends on how the question is asked. Taking a question that has a yes or no answer with one of them being correct and changing the parameters so that nearly right is good enough doesn't seem proper to me.
