Why Being Wrong Makes Humans So Smart - http://science.slashdot.org/story...
“The distinctive thing about inductive reasoning is that it generates conclusions that aren't necessarily true. They are, instead, probabilistically true — which means they are possibly false.” Schulz recommends that we respond to the mistakes (or putative mistakes) of those around us with empathy and generosity and demand that our business and political leaders acknowledge and redress their errors rather than ignoring or denying them. “Once we recognize that we do not err out of laziness, stupidity, or evil intent, we can liberate ourselves from the impossible burden of trying to be permanently right. We can take seriously the proposition that we could be in error, without deeming ourselves idiotic or unworthy.” - × × ×
где-то в frf был тред, что нельзя людей ругать за ошибки. за бездействие, необразованность, злонамеренность — сколько угодно. а неудачные попытки сделать что-либо, исходя из разумных предположений, должны считаться такой же нормой, как удачные. - 9000
