Don't know, but it reminds me of an application of Niels Bohr's famous quote:
(in German)
"Das Gegenteil einer richtigen Behauptung ist eine falsche Behauptung, aber das
Gegenteil einer tiefen Wahrheit kann wieder eine tiefe Wahrheit sein."
"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement, but the opposite of
a deep truth can again be a deep truth."
