No shit?! I didn't know that! It puts a whole new light on things. I'd
been thinking "Boston Tea Party" or some such.

Once that we recognize that we do not err out of laziness, stupidity,
or evil intent, we can uncumber ourselves of the impossible burden of
trying to be permanently right. We can take seriously the proposition
that we could be in error, without necessarily deeming ourselves
idiotic or unworthy.
