No, we believe like human beings. We need to see concrete results before deciding if that way was wrong or right, what we can take from the experience and what we can ditch. As communication gets better and better, we avoid making the same mistakes over and over again. We no longer use lead paint, for example. I see the open source movement as the ultimate expression of democracy.
