I saw this on an e-mail list yesterday.  I don't have access to Asimov's book, but it is
such a nice statement, I would like to fine the original source.  It seems to have been in
a comment on Kepler.
 
"Give me a fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You
can keep your sterile truth for yourself." -Vilfredo Pareto, quoted in Asimov's Book of
Science and Nature Quotations, p. 84.
