"...of course the view today is not ALWAYS right..."

Not always...?

I apologize for not being more clear; here is what I meant to say:

If something is not logical, it is not true.

Quanitative measurements can only be understood within the framework of the conceptual paradigm we currently understand. The conceptual paradigms we use are governed by logic or else they are governed by nothing at all. Einstein stressed this, are you saying that you aren't aware of his views on this?

Foolish me, I just realized:

We are nearly always right! We've achieved the near END OF SCIENCE! No longer do we really need to be troubled by the vaguely personal subjectivities of logic, doubt, or reasoned analysis!

Now its clear to me: Free and independent thought is not reliable enough to be trusted. What we really know is what someone else has told us! What joy to know that all I need to do is follow in the footsteps of the past and all will be "ok".

Isn't faith in science great?

If something is not logical, it is not true.

Where did you get there was something illogical?

You ignored what I actually said and went on with some rant. Why do you stop ranting and tell us what you think is mistaken about our understanding?
