I agree with Asimov. And the point stands, that you are almost certainly wrong.

But how wrong? And more importantly, do you understand why that is an important question?

Dismissing the achievements of present-day science by appealing to the wrongness of the past -- to imply we are just as wrong now as we were then-- is to exhibit the very form of ignorance that Asimov was criticizing.
