I see no reason why someone would have to apologize
for knowing (or being...) better - which is for what the word "humility"
stands in the quoted statement, as I understand it.
Doing nothing guarantees no mistakes are made.
Whether the knowledge gap between designing an ark and a ship
like Titanic makes the above statement apply is something I would
not question - or should I apologize for thinking so? ...
Being cautious not to err is something totally different from
being opportunistic. Or should I accept the "oh come on,
there is nothing like mafia-state, those conspiracy cranks
make it all up, everybody (meaning all media) says so" disregarding
my own senses and experience?
