"What useful purpose can be served by the study of absurd opinions and doctrines that have
long ago been exploded, and deserved to be? It is mere pedantry to attempt to revive them.
The more perfect a science becomes the shorter becomes its history. ... Our duty with
regard to errors is not to revive them, but simply to forget them."
 
JB Say, Cours Complet d'Economie Politique Pratique, 1828-9. Quoted by T.W. Hutchison On
Revolutions and Progress in Economic Knowledge, Cambridge University Press, 1978, p. 213.
Hutchison cites Gide and Rist as his source.
