Teachers at universities sometimes complain that part of the students show limitations in their thinking. At a number of English-speaking universities, teachers have commented on students’ belief that theories should be wholly ‘right’, that a translation should be able to convey the exact meaning of the original, or that experts should never make mistakes. In the event that an exception to a theory was mentioned, or an expert was found wrong in one of his views, those students became very displeased; for when an authority failed them they did not know what to do other than reject it completely.
