There are plenty of fantastic ideas that grew from "mistakes". Ideas like the Miranda rights reading upon arrest....adding a clause to your will involving "persistant vegetative state"....and sealing the large air chambers that keep luxury liners afloat (oh, and have enough lifeboats, too).

This is not to say that all "corrections" are correct - such as the "security" measures taken by our gov't after 9/11. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to prevent bad things from happening.
