Misusing Our Mistakes

To err on the side of caution
is to choose a mistaken idea
in the belief that your error
will be hidden in plain sight,
because common mistakes
are more acceptable than the rarer errors.

But hiding in the crowd
does not make anyone right,
but makes more people wrong
for not realising how wrong they can be.

Thus caution becomes the most careless path
that anyone can take, without them knowing it.
