It is is bosh to declare (or, rather, lifelessly to repeat) that
schools of thought must be held sacred because good people belong to
them [...] If truth is a good thing, I suppose error is a
bad one; and if large numbers of nice people are held captive by error
that is all the more reason for destroying the error and setting them
free. The hero of a fairy tale would not hesitate to deliver a hundred
princesses from an enchanter merely because they were very thoroughly
enchanted.
