To paraphrase in virian terms (correct me if I'm wrong): the truth
(accuracy) of a myth is not as important (interesting) as its
meaning (effect). At face value, this seems to agree with Brodie's
comments on how we should choose our beliefs.
I guess the question I have is when is a less accurate belief more
useful than a more accurate one?
