Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain’t so.

The comforting belief is that accuracy wins in the end. Plenty of true things lose, though: they are less interesting, they arrive late, they lack a sponsor. Waiting for facts to assert themselves is a way of avoiding the work of making them heard.

If you are right and losing, add effort rather than patience. Say it more clearly, more often, and to the people who can act on it. Truth has no momentum of its own, which means whatever momentum it gets has to come from somebody.
