[bug #52457] src: the first letter hyphenated in an English word

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #52457 (project groff):

  More examples of wrong ".nh/.hy" pairing

  1) contrib/glilypond/glilypond.1.man

  The blame goes to Bernd Warken, who is thus the default patch maker.

  2) contrib/groffer/groffer.1.man

  The blame goes to Werner Lemberg, who is thus the appropriate
corrector of the errors.

  Those who make an error should usually be the ones who ought to correct
them.

There is a saying,

        Any fool can learn from his own experience;
        The wise man learns from the experience of others.

Now I do not believe that the first line is correct, but
very definitely the second.

Now I am not convinced of the first, but the second is
certainly the case.  This is education.

I do not believe that the first line of this adage is correct;
too many seem unable to do so.  But the second line is usually
right on.  It took mankind thousands of years to learn concepts
which we can teach to small children, such as the ideas of
writing and alphabetic writing.  The same holds for mathematical
concepts and the important mathematical notation.

Too many students show that the first line is not correct.
But the second is very important, and is the basis of
the setting up of an educational program.

However, for education we have (I do not believe the
author is known):

Any fool can learn from his own experience.
The wise man learns from the experience of others.

Personally, I believe the first line is false, but the
second is what is needed for a good education.

In the sciences, authority counts for little.  Quoting
Newton will not avail, unless he was correct in that
instance.  He was not always correct.
