You can look at it as humans being fallible. For example people have been convinced that the earth is round and it does not move and centuries ago, Pharaoh and Cleopatra were gods. It just all matters whichever the future generations will dismiss as inaccurate. Mill believes that censorship is wrong on so many levels. It prevents us humans to correct our errors and also for us to learn and expand our views. If an opinion is forbidden, then the tendency that it is true will be irrelevant and no one will learn the truth from it and if it is false no one will learn why it was false.
