tévedhetetlen

tévedhetetlen is a Hungarian adjective that translates to infallible or unerring. It describes something or someone that is incapable of making mistakes or being wrong. This term is often used in religious contexts to refer to the Pope or certain doctrines, asserting their absolute correctness and freedom from error in matters of faith and morals.

Beyond religious connotations, tévedhetetlen can also be applied more generally to describe a system, prediction, or individual that consistently produces accurate results or judgments. For example, a scientific theory that has been rigorously tested and has always proven correct could be described as tévedhetetlen within its domain of applicability. Similarly, a person with a remarkable track record of making sound decisions might be informally called tévedhetetlen.

However, the absolute nature of the term means that true infallibility is rarely attributed to human endeavors, as they are inherently prone to error. The concept often implies a divine or exceptional quality. In philosophical discussions, the possibility and extent of infallibility are often debated, with many arguing that it is an ideal rather than an achievable reality in most circumstances. The use of tévedhetetlen thus carries significant weight, suggesting a level of certainty that is difficult to attain.
