If a person has the same view as you, or the correct answer to something?

Question

but the route in which they have the same view, or the correct answer is completely flawed, is their view the same as yours, or is the answer correct?

by this i mean, lets say a person says "the Earth rotates around the sun, because the sun is yellow, and thus brighter than the blue and green earth." They are correct on the statement, but no on the logic of how they got to the answer.

Like, do they still merit that they are correct because the earth does rotate the sun, but their logic is wrong?

likewise about an opinion, as if you believe in universal healthcare for the USA to be a good idea, and so does someone else, but their reason to believe such, makes absolutely no sense.

Answer 1

you have to know everything to make the perfect judgments. since man doesn't know everything, everything that man says is just an opinion in some way or another. maybe one opinion may be better than others, they are all matters of perspectives. the use of logic may yield you one result, thinking another way may yield another result, we typically say we are correct based on their own thinking, but the other party is doing the same. who are we to say anything is necessary true or truly objective?

if you think about it, relative to earth, the sun rotate around earth, just in a more complex trajectory. this statement is true and correct. simple is better is another assumption that goes with theories that may not be true. just because colors don't correlate well with earth rotating around the sun, doesn't necessary mean it's false. it may be considered false within that system of thinking.

Answer 2

Opinions cannot be correct or wrong, nor can they be true or false.  They just are.  People cannot be correct or wrong, nor can they be true or false.  Their statements can however.

If someone says "the Earth revolves around the Sun" they (i.e. their statement) would be correct.  Their logic might not be, but that statement is true.  Period.

Also, who's keeping score here?  "Do they still merit that they are correct"...that's kind of a pretentious way to think about conversations.

Answer 3

I will make it as wrong. If they get to the right answer but have the wrong logic to it, then its just an answer. It's like going through a door, you can learn to open it or you can bust through it, but both get you through the door. It is just that if you keep busting through doors your going to hurt your self, and if you open it correctly you will not.

Answer 4

"The Earth revolves around the Sun because the Sun is yellow" is actually three ideas (two independent clauses + the relationship between them).

A)The Earth revolves around the Sun.

B)The Sun is yellow.

C)B causes A

One of the ideas would be the same as yours or correct, and the other(s) would not be.

Taken altogether, the views are different for that reason.
