True, they may not be practically invaluable, but they can stimulate valuable discovery as heuristics. Even as false trails, they can be guideposts to circumstantial exceptions. Maybe I'm thinking also about Kuhn's paradigmatic model for scientific discovery. We never come to know what's right by being afraid to be thought wrong.
