(Example answer: Yes, I was wrong about Santa Clause, it was actually my Parents) (Example answer: No)Yes, and in various ways of 'wrongness', such as 'mistaken identity', but as far as I can tell not generally in the santa claus (wanting to believe, because I liked it) sense. Mainly in the sense of not understanding a role something can play or the relevance of something, due to limited experience, and at some point ignoring, mischaracterizing or dismissing it.
It is possible to know that one doesn't 'know' something (when that area is called to task, or comes to bear on a matter), and so one's operating premises, do not have to overextend current worldview. It only requires enough acceptance to utilize honesty. Once that honesty is made primary to awareness, the matter of 'right' and 'wrong' becomes somewhat of an obsolete paradigm. This is because with each and every opportunity in which an evaluation is called for, there is nothing used which is not actually 'owned'.
