"Test everything. Hold on to the good.
That's from the Apostle Paul, actually. It's a bona fide biblical commandment. Both parts of it. Test everything. Hold on to the good.
Note the difference between the first part and the second. "Test everything" is unconditional. What should we test? Everything. But the second part is conditional. We're not told to hold on to everything -- only to "the good," only to that which withstands testing. Test everything and drop whatever can't pass the test. Let it go and don't look back.
But hold on to the good."
