Right and wrong themselves are somewhat subjective terms. However, it's clear that when people communicate ideas, some are brilliant and some are shitty. So while some ideas may not be objectively wrong, they will lose their audience really quickly. That's why great philosophers are great-- not because they are right or wrong, but because they are sufficiently deep to allow others something to think, or even debate, about for a long time.
