I heard the philosopher Thomas Kuhn quoted at a conference today; or, in fact, Francis Bacon being quoted by Thomas Kuhn in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Bacon, the first philosopher of modern science, born in England in January 1561, saying this:
"Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion."
I thought, hearing that, that it's easy enough to stick with confusion and complain the world is a confusing place. But going ahead and potentially making an error is a much tougher call. Go figure!
