Sometimes you can believe the right thing for the wrong reason.

It's dangerous to encourage people to believe false things (or quietly fail to correct false beliefs) if they lead to correct conclusions though. Such strategies may work in the short term, but the world is chaotic, and generally a wrong-but-helpful belief today will become a wrong-and-harmful belief tomorrow.

We learned this with the whole 2020-era attempt to try to convince people that covid is not airborne so that people would not hoard masks and leave them for emergency staff. It ended up leading to really harmful misconceptions that are still persisting.

As you note briefly in your recent review of Plurality (Weyl & Tang 2024), we need to up our game when it comes to accommodating human (non-bureaucratic) identity.
