Well, the teachings allude to 'right' (samma) which doesn't mean 'correct'. It means something like full or complete or whole. The story of 5 blind men feeling parts of the elephant represents how partial views can't be called incorrect; just incomplete. The interpretation of 'samma' to mean correct is in itself a wrong view, which is not to say the interpretation is incorrect - only that it is a small fraction of the whole.
