Is one wrong answer more wrong?
 

If I say "2 + 2 = 5", and someone else says "2 + 2 = -63", is it correct to say that he is 'more wrong'.

"Wrongness" has to be defined here. You are closer to the correct answer than he is. Does that mean much? Not in this case. Close doesn't count in math, though your answer is more correct as an estimate.

Oh and in psychology you are so last year and the other guy has worked out a new model others are now refining.

(And that's my field so I get to crack jokes at it!)

close is only important in horseshoes and hand grenades.
