Summary

This quote suggests that proponents of falsehood and error have reason to fear calm, genuine, and intelligent inquiry and debate. The truth, on the other hand, should not be afraid of such discussions. It implies that when ideas are thoroughly examined, scrutinized, and challenged, false beliefs struggle to withstand scrutiny and are more likely to be exposed. In contrast, the truth stands firm and emerges even stronger through open and honest dialogue. This quote emphasizes the importance of rational and fair discussions in revealing truth and uncovering fallacies.
