“There seems a prevailing consensus that a concession of uncertainty is a sign of soft-headedness, or even indicative of complicity in disinformation and cover-up. At the risk of being tagged a disinfo artist, I don’t think so. When I’m unsure of something – and I’m unsure of a lot of things – I like a nice maybe or perhaps. In fact, I think an admission that one might be wrong should be the price of serious appraisal. Not only am I disinclined to heed those who claim to have solved the puzzles of our time’s hidden riddles, but I’m likely to red-flag them with suspicion. And the same should go for me if I ever say, unreservedly, This is the way things are.” |
