      That isn’t a gotcha… Things can be close enough to still work.

      There’s a reason the scientific method tests theories with experimentation. Sometimes they’re spot on, sometimes they’re real damn close, and sometimes they’re well off.

      Why is left wing theory constantly held under microscopic scrutiny when right wing theory is clearly bollocks by looking at the western world around us?
