Introduction
The Shape Board Scenario The child takes up the first piece and tries to insert it into the nearest hole but it diesn't fit. Be then tries the next hole etc etc until the piece actually fits. Be then starts working on the next piece and again, after trying out various holes finds the correct one. Etc etc. On some occasions be put a piece into an incorrect hole because the piece is smaller than the hole and the shape is different eg a small circle shape into a large square hole. After weeks, or months, or years, or decades, or centuries, or millenia the person who set the exercise enters the room and comes to the conclusion that the child is very intelligent because most of the shapes are in the correct holes. In this case the conclusion is very incorrect.
Truth
Reality For example take medicine. How many millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of people have died because of incorrect treatment eg blood letting, taking of various 'medicines' which themselves were deadly etc. We may have machines which can scan the body and show every internal detail, and heart transplants are a daily occurrence BUT it is literally built on the suffering and premature death of multitudes of people who died because of these guessworks of medicine. Man has achieved a lot but even now which of the accepted theories will be shown to be incorrect and will sometime in the future be discarded for a more accepteble theory?
