    You're going to have to expand on that thought for me to get what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure that what he was saying there was that, if the unpopular opinion is actually the correct one, being unable to hear it will rob one of correcting their stance. ie, in this instance, "error" = "wrong," or "false."

    Uhm

    Truth is not in error.
    Things which are in error are not true.

    These precepts, while logically correct, are not the end-all-be-all of determining what truth and error are. I find it curious that 'truth' and 'error' are used when the primary binary relationship being expressed is 'truth' and 'falsehood.'

    Truth and error are not binary states, it's not just black and white. It is far more difficult to tell whether something is the truth, in many cases, than simply pointing to yes or no, on or off, binary states. That is, situations in which there are only two paths to choose.

    When people ask me if I lean left or right, I have to reply "There are only two ways to get from the center of a sphere to the edge? Gosh there seem to be an infinite number of directions available to me."

    Things can even be true in one way and in error in another...but I mean this gets into some pretty detailed and granular thinking.
