Actually I think I am more confident on his failure modes than I am on his working definition of truth itself. "it is that which exceeds our experience and prior understanding" okay... isn't that just "anything we haven't experienced or understood before" i.e. something new. I'm not sure how that is helpful.

Okay, I think I grok Badiou's the failure modes: being decieved, becoming distracted, perverting "truth" (e.g. turning it into dogma). Does Badiou offer any help in avoiding or overcoming these failure modes beyond "don't do that"?
