Truth from error?

[from Ray Jackson (921222.0145)]

   Gary Cziko, Bruce Nevin and others (various times)

     Melius invenitur veritas ex errore quam ex ignorantia
"It is easier to arrive at truth from error than from ignorance."

....make a revision? I would much prefer something like "get closer
to" or "draw nearer to" than "arrive at." Would something like
"advenitur" do it? This reflects my Popperian sympathies.--Gary

What about the quote by Francis Bacon (in English): "Truth emerges more
readily from error than from confusion."

Regards,
Ray
