I don’t like being wrong, but I’ll eat crow and post the proof I was wrong (or at least admit I was wrong and leave my post) if I’m willing to take the punishment. Only thing that bugs the shit out of me is the torrent of downvotes on the admission. I mean, there’s plenty of posts that often discuss shaming those that admit they’re wrong as really bad form because we need to allow people the room to accept that they need to change their minds, yet people hammer them with downvotes all the time. I always toss an upvote at people that admit a screw-up, but they often remain in the negatives.

Yeah, finding proof can be a PITA, but I gotta lol at myself if I mis-read or mis-interpreted the info and formed a bad argument around it. Now I’m doubly unhappy that not only was I wrong, but I was wrong because I didn’t understand what I read in the first place.
