With the full understanding that I'm pouring some gasoline into the flames right now, I still say that everybody, including me and Nathann, have the "right" to be mistaken. The way I try to approach my stupid mistakes is that I try to know, how to loose and I try to be careful enough to admit that I do make culturally stupid mistakes and do loose debates to the point that at the end of the debate I'm convinced at my private, most intimate, thoughts that my starting position at the debate was utterly stupid. One of the things that I certainly try to avoid is to change my criticism towards the other party during the debate. If I have claim X, then I stick to X or admit that I was mistaken with X, but I am not claiming that my complaint to the other party was Y at the time, when it becomes visible to me that I'm loosing the debate with X. The summary: mistakes are OK, provided that they do not originate from sloppy conduct, we all do mistakes and it saves one's nerves to try to play so that it's possible to admit one's own mistakes. Hope it saves some gray brain cells from adrenaline related chemicals. :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
