1923	As a guide to action, true opinion is as good as knowledge [Plato]
	Full Idea: True opinion is as good a guide as knowledge for the purpose of acting rightly.
	From: Plato (Meno [c.385 BCE], 97b)
	A reaction: This is the germ of Peirce's epistemology - that knowledge is an interesting theoretical concept, but opinion/belief is what matters, and most needs explanation.
