If a leader has no followers, is he a leader?
If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it mean it didn't make noise?
If someone has an opinion and people don't agree with him, is he wrong?
I don't think i have the mental capacity to deduce the answers to those wrangling questions, so i hereby welcome comment. The first one is a little simpler though i feel. The other two are just crazy. Enjoy the torture.

RE: #2. It depends on how you define noise. Generally, 'sound' is defined by being heard. Yet air waves are still created by the falling tree. If you consider the potential of airwaves to be noise, then no.
And #3 - No. The first person to deduce that the world was round was not wrong, for example, though most of his contemporaries may have disagreed.

ah. think there's some potential there on #3 now that you mention the retrospect element. interesting.
that's kind of like extrapolating the "relative world veiw" theory rite.
