I really want to know when I’m factually wrong, because I can’t stand the idea of continuing to be in possession of so-called “facts” that are inaccurate.
So, when I make an error, I’m grateful to the person who publicly or privately informs me of my mistake(s), because, in a way, they are “improving me” (intellectually or otherwise) by doing so.
I may have a bit of a problem with the WAY such is done, but not the fact that it was done.
I would also hope that the individual pointing out my error would be equally receptive to my pointing out his/her own error(s), should they occur.
