Actually, this is an interesting question and somewhat loaded too - specially when it comes to social, political, judicial, moral, religious and formally undecidable type propositions. My answer would be: I don't believe so, since "correct" has always been and will continue to be a function of time, generally-accepted consensus, and numerous other variables. Take the Israeli-Arab conflict, for instance: Is the one side always on the right (or the wrong for that matter)? Can killing, mayhem and inhumanity (obviously practiced by both sides) always be defended and justified (in the name, and on the basis of whatever)? The human race is NOT evolved enough yet to be fully correct about anything - even our Exact Sciences (the closest things we have to fully/universally correct FACTS) have not yet achieved such lofty status; imagine the rest! ... Knowledge based on the Absolute has usually proved to be a disastrous path for humanity.

It's easy to know when we are wrong, but it's not so easy to know when right.
circumstances
Time is our best way of knowing if correct and when we follow what we believe in we are more than likely to discover less mistakes were made but it takes years of mistakes to make less by listening to our hearts
I study my dreams which holds relevance to science religion mythology and much more.....
To find a couple of relevances may be just a coincidence but to find many makes the coincidence impossible and the information probable

Correct ---- this is a wrong word developed by the inventors of language, correct it relative and not absolute.
So may be yes or no

Not possible in every case. Moreover who will decide what is right and what is wrong? The circumstances and time are also important factors. Minimize errors - that's all we can do.

fully correct to ourselves? yes
fully correct to all other world? no

no, we are like a Rubik's cube with a no color space, you think you are finally getting it figured out then DAMMIT there is that blank again. Sometimes you keep fiddling with it, and some times you smash it against a wall sobbing.

No, we can only convince others that we're right and everyone else is wrong.
Have a nice day.
