Rare is the man who can see one false meme in his own upbringing. Rarer
still is he who sees more than one of them. No one can spot them all.
If we condemn Einstein because he failed to see the fallacies of the
mainstream of thought in a field he did not even practice, we are expecting
perfection. We might as well condemn all ancient Athenians who didn't rail
against slavery, or all medieval scholars who failed to fight for women's
rights.
I'm sure future generations will see laughable fallacies and cruel injustice
in practices that we find unobjectionable, as well. I hope they won't hold
us to your standard.
