[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] ^ I don't believe Diop made mistakes. I just believe we learn more as time goes on. I use the comparison of Newton and Einstein. Did Newton make *mistakes*, because he didn't understand relativity? Science, in my view isn't about timeless absolute truths [as is religion], it's only about ongoing progressive learning and change. I respect Diop as a scientist who advanced our knowledge of history. I treat him like every other scientist - and I do not know a single scientist of Diops generation who anticipated everything that has been learned subsequently. Name a scientist who *is* right about everything? That isn't science...that's megalomania. I don't generally regard scientists in terms of the "mistakes", because they weren't right about everything. So, why should I regard Diop in such terms? [/QB][/QUOTE]
