Jokes aside : being right for the wrong reasons is being wrong

It's not wrong. The "common center" lies inside the Sun.

Therefore, the Sun orbits itself and the Earth orbits the Sun.

The Man-in-the-middle's statement is akin to the following :

2 = 3 thus, by multiplying both sides by 0, we get 0 = 0, which is true !

He said it's in the middle because 2 people disagreed, and he states that the truth lies always in she middle in these situations. which is false, exactly as false as 2 = 3

If we’re strict, being right is always being right. If we’re not strict, wouldn’t that imply that being wrong “for the right reasons” is being right?
