TIL 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.
