The method of difference, which in some cases does establish causes with as great certainty as is possible for human fallibility, works in the opposite way: instead of collecting a large number of cases and noting the single point of agreement, it takes a single case and varies a single one of its elements.
The first step for all is to learn to the dregs our own ignoble fallibility.
A Celebrated Divine having affirmed the fallibility of the Bible, was asked why, then, he preached the religion founded upon it. "If it is fallible," he replied, "there is the greater reason that I explain it, lest it mislead." "Then am I to infer," said his Questioner, "that you are not fallible?" "You are to infer that I am not pneumophagous." The Thrift of Strength
This prince must have felt the misery of repenting everything he had done and of seeing the impossibility of undoing it, partly because it was irreparable, partly because if he had undone through reason what he had done through senselessness, he would have thought himself dishonoured, for he must have clung to the last to the belief of the infallibility attached to his high birth, in spite of the state of languor of his soul which ought to have proved to him the weakness and the fallibility of his nature.
"He made several mistakes in life; most of them because he didn't pay respect enough to circumstances; thought that to adhere to fixed principles was the whole duty of a man: nothing to be allowed to the accidents of life, or to the various and unaccountable natures of men, their uncertainty, fallibility, and so on.
The enactment has imposed a large responsibility upon the Executive, but that responsibility will be discharged with a broad mindfulness of the whole business situation. The provision itself admits either the possible fallibility of rates or their unsuitableness to changing conditions.
But Despujol professed to believe that the best of men make mistakes and that a wise government would establish safeguards against this human fallibility.
It is just the touch of human fallibility that has brought Nemesis to many a great criminal. "The machinery he employed focussed attention from the first on the apparent murderer rather than his victim. It appeared impossible to doubt what had happened and Pendean's death was assumed but never proved.
Occasional blunders in the choice of objects of contempt and of worship between which extremes he seldom halts, demonstrate his fallibility, but outside the sphere of literary and purely personal criticism he seldom attacks any one, or anything, without a show of reason.
We are, therefore, justified in believing that in this case, like so many others of its kind, the fallibility of human memory has played an overwhelming part in exaggerating the experiences actually undergone; that, in fine, nothing occurred in the rectory at Epworth, between December 1, 1716, and January 31, 1717, that may not be attributed to human agency. Who, then, was the agent?
