Consistency is more important than correctness.

Consistency shouldn't be regarded as more important than correctness, in the sense that you check for consistency, and stop.

f you believe you theory is right, you may be wrong, and if you discover this (because it makes wrong predictions) you can fix it. But if you accept inconsistent predictions from your theory, you can never fix it..

But the inconsistency isnt in the theory, and, in all likelihood, they are not .running off an explicit theory ITFP.
