"たとえ百万人が愚かなことを言ってもそれは依然として愚かなことです"
— Anatole France

Simplified Meaning:
Even if a huge crowd believes something silly, it doesn't change the fact that it's silly. Imagine lots of people saying the sky is green when it's actually blue. Just because many say it's green doesn’t make it true. Sometimes, many people can be wrong together. This can happen in real life when people follow trends without thinking. For example, if everyone at school starts spreading a false rumor, it doesn’t make the rumor true. Always think for yourself and check the facts before believing what a big group says. It’s important to use your own judgment instead of just going along with what everyone else thinks.
