Some ideas are obviously wrong.
Imagine people saying prison rape is part and parcel of the person sentence.

Quoting Altman http://blog.samaltman.com/e-pur-si-muove
'It is bad for all of us when people can’t say that the world is a sphere, that evolution is real, or that the sun is at the center of the solar system.'
It is therefore equally bad for all of us when people can’t say that the world is flat, question evolution, or argue the sun isn't at the center of the solar system...
