So let me update my statement a bit: Replacing “right” by “true” won’t make the problem entirely go away.
Sure. For instance, the Scientology folks teach “what is true, is what is true for you” — but they still go around making pretty strong claims that what is true for Tom Cruise et al. is relevant to the rest of the population, too.
Oh crap. I meant it as a factual statement: “It is obvious to nearly everyone”. I guess it is less obvious than I thought.
Luckily, in French, we don’t have a word as overloaded as “right”. We have “true”, and we have “good”, but we don’t have “right”.
