Claim: Any piece of information referred to as a fact should be mistrusted, since it may well be proven false in the future.
Reason: Much of the information that people assume is factual actually turns out to be inaccurate.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
Indeed, some plausible information may be actually incorrect and misled by such inaccurate information, people may idolize those apocryphal facts and become confused. However, although some information may not be very accurate, it do have some influential and revolutionary points in some areas. Therefore, while sometimes some so-called reliable facts should be questioned, a lot of imperfect information should still be trusted.
Scarcely do people, especially those who idolize and apotheosis authority and absolute puissance, consider the fact that some universally accepted facts may actually be untenable and wrong. As a result, a multitude of people are misguided and new development stops. Fortunately, once those believers realize the far-reaching problem, innovative and revolutionary progress is around the corner.
For instance, the discovery of faster-than-light particles may throttle Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, which is the substratum of modern physics. Influenced by the reputation of the arbiter, many people believe the “truth” spoken by the celebrity. Nonetheless, the discovery may break the fact that people assume. Therefore, information should be mistrusted because possibly it is really misleading and useless.
Yet, a general view should be shared by the public that although some information may turn out to be inaccurate, it is still very precious and valuable. Best paradigm is the classical mechanics proposed by Newton. The system advanced by Newton is applicable to all macroscopic phenomena, as a result of which development referring to the application of classical mechanics had boosted a lot through last several centuries. Relevant inventions such as automobiles, trains and planes are all applications of the system. Although evidence found last centuries showed that the system could not be useful when dealing with microscopic situations, no one can repudiates or revile Newton’s contribution. Perhaps some information is inaccurate, the positive changes brought by it cannot be ignored and therefore information should not be questioned and mistrusted all the time.
In sum, although information sometimes is undeniably inaccurate and even useless and misleading, revolutionary and influential information is still very luminous and relevant information should not be mistrusted. If any piece of information is discredited, then perhaps it is hard and quixotic to see developments and changes of the world because people mistrust things that can help them.
个人感觉前面写杂了，没有太多时间研究例子。。。求指教
