Well, yeah. My strength is that I'm always right. I thought I was wrong once, but that was a mistake.
(note the paradox)
- sitkack 12y agoIt really isn't a paradox. Your strength being 'always right' is a strength, but relying on it without proof is a weakness. The scientific method delivers an expert to their position, but it also keeps one in their place. We always need to show our work. The fact that an expert can crutch on the Markovian Weather doesn't mean I should trust them in any way based on their word. Trust me, says the expert, I am always right. There are those who are right and there are those who are right with proof. The outcome doesn't make argument, the argument and the outcome does.
