Let's start with an easy one: 2 + 2 = 4.
What is your possible revision?

These 2 statements are inconsistent.  The shape the dust has is its actual shape (what other shape could it be.)

What if a sailor used a map to successfully navigate between two islands of the East Indies, then later discovered it was a map of the West Indies?

Here you're just repeating your claim that 'right' means useful.
But that the sailor successfully used a map of the West Indies to navigate the islands of the East Indies
doesn't make it a correct map of the East Indies.
