    I wonder how many fallacies are right?

    Well, there's the general relativity gravity
    demonstration, where you put a bowling ball
    on a tight rubber sheet, so it distorts space
    and other balls on the sheet roll down
    towards it... or maybe that's my own
    misunderstanding.

    And no one either understands quantum mechanics,
    or wants it to be right. And yet it always is.
