“Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress”

Preliminary notes:

  • Can’t there be progress without mistake? - Yes, there can be
  • Does mistake lead to progress – Yes – but is it only through mistakes that we make progress- no – does this mean serendipity?
  • What about man’s intellectual curiosity that motivates him to discover new knowledge? – it is true
  • Let me qualify the statement examples
  • Scientist purposefully searches fro new knowledge with out having made mistakes – a nation can learn from its past mistakes.
