It would be nice if no one ever had to be
wrong (good for everyone's self-esteem,
maybe good for harmonious
relationships, world peace, etc.), but is it
the case?

Also, it seems that when you're trying to
get somewhere, some routes might be
faster, some slower, etc., but some might
take you in the opposite direction, or the
wrong way on a one way street! Might not
some sets of beliefs (the Jim Jones
"Peoples' Temple" Cult or the Heaven's
Gate Cult, the Ku Klux Klan?) be
analgous to this?
