You are drunk and driving towards north. There is some probability of an accident, and you are warned of that. So, you take a U-turn and start driving towards south. Now you say, “I was doing the wrong thing; now I am doing exactly the opposite of the wrong thing, so this must be the right thing. Now I will not meet an accident!”
Now the probability of an accident has only increased, because not only are you still drunk, you are now even more careless and vain. Now you think that you are doing the right thing, when the thing is that you are still as drunk as you were when you were driving towards north.
