Oh, nooo.  Negative knowledge - knowing the
exceptions - is more valuable than positive
as it defines the boundaries.

It is better to know where the dragons lie
then to know of just another place where they
possibly aren't/didn't see any.  It is
impossible to prove there isn't a dragon
but easy to prove there is.
