Paul Samuelson on correcting error

I hate to be wrong.  That has aborted many a tempting error, but not all of them.  But I hate much more to stay wrong.

~ Paul Samuelson

(Samuelson has one of the worst track records of among any economist, having predicted a recession after WWII and lauding the Soviet model during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.)
