Two life-size mistakes

Chesterton about two life-size mistakes that locally appear to be "error-free"...

„The man who cannot believe his senses, and the man who cannot believe anything else, are both insane, but their insanity is not proved by any error in their argument, but by the manifest mistake of their whole lives.”
-- G. K. Chesterton - "Orthodoxy", Ch. II
