Righting a Wrong Question: how everything you observe calls for understanding, how even an utter confusion or a lie can communicate positive knowledge. There are always causes behind any apparent confusion, so if the situation doesn't make sense in a way it's supposed to be interpreted, you can always step back and see how it really works, even if you are not supposed to look at the situation this way. For example, don't trust your thought, instead catch your own mind in the process of making a mistake.
