Story★★★• Some ideas are so bad that it may be argued they should be rejected on the basis of their

• False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long. -
Charles Darwin, unwittingly describing his own hypothesis in The Descent of
Man
The point
Some ideas have such dangerous implications they should be rejected outright; false facts persist in science and mislead future research.
