We all know that statements tend to be either true or false. Statements about things that are wrong are unfortunately often true. Take for example the statement: "Kate was robbed last night" , we all feel that Kate has been wronged somehow and that the statement may be true.
I was gonna ask for an example of something that is right that is also false. Then it dawned on me that my example of Kate isn't "wrong", it's only what happened to Kate that is wrong and not the actual statement.
One step forward, two steps back. I thought I had an example of something being wrong and true.
Can something be wrong and true?
Can something be right and false?
I'll have to think a little more about this one.
A soapbox to reveal my sometimes controversial view of the world.
