    The rule of thumb is never let a mistake go unrepeated. Repetition legitimizes may be a meme but it's golden advice as well.

      Is that why they are violently forcing people to take "vaccines" that never achieved any effect on mortality or disease? Or lockdowns that never did either? Not everything gets legitimized by repetotion.

    I once jokingly criticized a friend for getting into Jazz music, with the classic jab, "it's just playing the wrong notes." He hit me back with the best line I've ever heard, "yes, but you have to play the wrong notes at the right time."

    I had a choral director who used to say, "The audience can forgive a wrong note, but they will notice if you're off-rhythm." Or something like that.
    A wrong note can always be passed off, usually, but if you get off rhythm its a little harder to make that sound right.
