Dear Lonely Owl at freespeechextremist com: I must first be honest with myself before I can be honest with other people. I usually get a hint that I am wrong, then ignore it, it is almost equivalent to blocking or muting another social media account.
It is totally different in my journalist tradecraft; I always believe that I lack adequate and sufficient evidence necessary to publish news stories. Journalists must exercise reasonable due care and due diligence in attempting to gather and analyze information in question, so I usually am hesitant to admit that I am right. Because our profession requires us to be highly skilful in discovering the truth.
On a personal level, I tend to want to be right all of the time, I was speaking years ago with a journalist of great stature who told me that I must let go, stop being egotistical, if I want to be a successful journalist. This journalist said: "A competent journalist is always suspicious that the news story lacks sufficient corroborative and supportive facts up to the minutes and seconds the story actually goes to print."
I understand what you are saying, I still need much improvement concerning how I react to evidence that does not reflect my own word view.
