The human experience is based on consistency and accurate prediction. We survive through our ability to form accurate models of what might be, and what could be. This ability hinges, on a very fundamental level, on our perceptions of what is and what is not. Information that remains consistently reliable allows us to continually form successful predictions for our survival. Misinformation and contradiction are deadly in the realm of prediction. |

Isn't it concievable that there are such things as "useful errors"? Or, conversely, "harmful truths"? Have you ever come out of a situation on the better end precisely because you erred or did not come across some truth? |

I think error serves a purpose, but only if the person at fault is truely willing to look at their errors objectively, and try to find a more objective truth. I believe there are "harmful truths," but only in the instance that the person receiving that truth is not able to handle it. There is nothing wrong, objectively, with learning the truth. If that truth "forces" you to into some adverse reaction which causes something negative, in turn, then it would be your fault, and not the fault of the truth itself. |
