Of course.  But as knowledge rests ever more in digital form, the 
numbers either add up or not.  As we become more dependent on the 
answers we get, we will all get the same answers, and come to a 
more compleat agreement.  If Moore's law continues for *another* 
thirty years, I can hardly imagine anyone with the hubris to say 
that the global mainframe/database is wrong. Will GIGO still be 
around? If so, it will take a very deep mind to see it.
