Updated Paper Topic-- "Based on a Misprint"

Ok, I changed my paper topic. I am intensely fascinated by the phrase "Life everlasting based on a misprint" and plan to do a paper examining the ways misprints, "false scents" and misleadings can actually lead the creator/reader to more interesting discoveries than had they been right all the time. To slightly digress, consider the pain and anguish that Shade must have felt upon discovering that his proof of the afterlife, the white fountain, was actually a white mountain and thus not supporting his own notions; however, think of how the misprint of fountain perhaps led to his eternal refuge in Zembla. Embracing mistakes may lead a person to his/her mistakes may perhaps be the best guide down an undiscovered trail. Doing some further research should lead me down some wonderful trails of discovery mixed with dead-ends that will, according to the theory, lead me to more wonderful places then I would have ever come to otherwise.
