Even wrong things. Like "if I put a pin into this voodoo doll, that person will suffer". Sometimes it works, by coincidence. How to tell the difference?
Its important to categorize knowledge as facts, opinions, wild theories, witchcraft, lies. Can't do it all by myself, my life is too short. So got to trust somebody (grandma, textbook, blogger, writer, televangelist).

Things that "hold true sometimes but not always" are ALSO interesting to know.

Come to think of it, with the exception of physical laws and tautologies, everything elses fits in the "holds true sometimes but not always" category.
