Ham

That something -- and particularly that an idea -- is flawed, does not make it bad. Even that something is wrong does not necessarily make it bad.

And a few things that are right are bad. Some truths are wicked, except in the abstract.

And that is my point: that there is such a thing as a truth whose revelation is damaging in every plausible context; and there are many flawed things (and even some wrong things) that are usually helpful.
