Do you prefer to be corrected if you're wrong?
I like people to tell me if I'm wrong. As long as it is fact based and not opinion. Some people get upset if they are wrong. What type are you?

Some of it depends on HOW I'm told.

Great point!
Exactly!
Being proven wrong is a gift. It's an opportunity to grow one's self and understanding, but that doesn't mean I like it ?

If I am wrong and someone can prove that I am sure BUT, if a person is confronting me and has zero proof outside of their "opinion" then I will rip into them with gusto.

Yeah there's that
Absolutely, yes. I've held quite a lot of wrong opinions. It doesn't feel good to be corrected, but it's a damn sight better than continuing to be wrong.

Certainly, unless I take it that what you are doing is trying to lead me into debate. We live in 2018. Most of us anyway. I don't care what Kepler thought of science and religion, I'm not into Aristotle, Socrates, or classical anything. I simple use logic and demand evidence. Up to date modern evidence.
Recently in these forums a lady from Alaska told me I had best look at my idea that all digital transmissions today go through the air. I did, and she was right. 99% of America to Europe transmissions are still transatlantic cable. This is phone and Internet.

I did not know that either, I would have never guessed 99%.
@Fulishsage The info came from Newsweek. Before reading it I thought that Phones, TV, Internet, and everything went by satellite. I was wrong.
Yes but with some sugar. Nobody likes to he harshly corrected.

If someone knows something interesting and relevant to a conversation I am open to suggestions and feedback. Many times you have opinions not facts that can be in dispute. Sometimes there is no right and wrong per se. If there is a finite answer facts rule.

No, I don't prefer it, and the reason why is that I could do something better with that moment!
