The whole idea of a Satan presents a lot of philosophical questions. Maybe I will have more to say about it in a few months when I have finished my philosophy of religion class. Augustine thinks evil does not exist! I have trouble with a powerful dark force, but at the same time... there's Star Wars, where you can't deny that evil is more powerful in the short run but it just might leave you as a deranged half-robot. I like the idea of an Abercrombie model as Satan, but the Facebook is more likely to leave you a deranged half-robot. Then again, maybe we live in a perfect world where "evil" is a deficiency in your perception and doing wrong is acting on misperception. The fall of man is very fertile ground for stories that shape our worldviews. Do you remember where the story of Lucifer loving God so much that he refused to bow to man comes from? All I'm saying is, you have to know your characters. Tell us about Satan already!
Being wrong could be misconception, too. There has to have been a time when you believed something was certain when, in fact, nothing lasts. Being 100% wrong would then become a time when the end of some time brought you to a halt for a while. This expands your prompt to encompass so much more than the normal definition of wrong, which would also lead me to conclude that I have never been wrong.
