The '''implications''' of an [[idea]] are often used to judge its value. Theories or doctrines which imply a desirable or undesirable consequence are often judged "true" or "false" on that basis.

Some philosophers and scientists believe that the truth of an idea is unrelated to human evalutions of the worthiness of the idea's consequence. Politicians, on the other hand, typically assume that ideas with bad consequences are false - or at least they argue that way in public.
