John Stuart Mill schreef in On Liberty (1859):
"But the peculiar evil of silencing the
expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race;
posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent
from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion
is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error
for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit,
the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced
by its collision with error."
