Quote from RainMann:
"An error lurking in the roots of a system of thought does not become a truth simply by being evolved. It remains an error; and if thought is consistant, that consistancy can only mean a more intricate enmeshing in error. Usually it requires a mistake in logic to produce correct conclusions from false premesis, but false conclusions can be drawn from false premesis with strict logical accuracy. In this way, integral and elaborate systems of thought can be unravelled in which the rules of logical procedure are rigidly adhered to, and yet the entire system can be invalidated by an error at its base."
