I have always suspected that correctness is the last refuge

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone resorts to correctness or being technically accurate in a discussion or argument, it may be because they lack meaningful or original ideas to contribute.

This quote reflects the belief that true substance and significance lie beyond mere correctness.
