I do not understand this. I have never understood this.

No, I'm not saying you're wrong, you're clearly correct. A cursory look at social media shows how horribly correct you are.

What I mean is that I simply do not get this mind set.

I hate being wrong. It's ugly, sometimes painful, and psychologically not good.

But my path to not being wrong is usually to do a lot of research before I open my big mouthy.

And I still get it wrong. Often. Where I seem to differ from just about everyone these days is that I admit it, try to correct, and move on.

Perfection isn't even a reasonable goal, let alone something we'll ever achieve. Being wrong is part of human experience.

Admitting it, changing course, and dealing with it should be to.
