 Despite its attractive features, the account has a couple of disastrous consequences. Firstly, since a falsehood has some false consequences, and no truth has any, it follows that no falsehood can be as close to the truth as a logical truth – the weakest of all truths. A logical truth leaves the location of the truth wide open, so it is rather worthless as an approximation to the whole truth. On Popper’s account, no falsehood can ever be more worthwhile than a worthless logical truth. (We could call this result the absolute worthlessness of falsehoods).
