Be honest with the poll.

Lie your head off on the posts, if you need to. :)

But, can you accept being wrong?

Yes I am married :D

I like to play the long game. If somebody disagrees with me, then I accept that they must right and I must be wrong.

However, I will then go and check to be sure, and make a point of proving my point if I was right.

Good programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, should be hard to read.

Usually.
Which basicaly means:

Yeah I can admit that I'm wrong, if you show me what is correct,
so that I can learn from it.

Telling me I'm wrong, and not having a clue yourself rubs me the wrong way!
Amusingly enough, I tend to do that myself now and again,
but after being shown the right way obviously not again! :)

I have been known to stand up and say "I am wrong" many times publicly. Although, like everyone, nobody "enjoys" being wrong :)

You're wrong for being wrong!
For the crazy people, its better to tell them that they are right.. for what its worth ;) - Sure you're right. I don't care - At least im not behind bars :wink: (this is when they try to bite your ear and they apply them 30mg of valium)
