“The logic of fallibilism is that one not only seeks to correct the misconceptions of the past, but hopes in the future to find and change mistaken ideas that no one today questions or finds problematic. So it is fallibilism, not the mere rejection of authority, that is essential for the initiation of unlimited knowledge growth.”
