Why do people insist on being right...

I'm never wrong

My boss is like that. He refuses to believe that the wine mentioned in the Bible was anything other than non-alcoholic grape juice, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

I think THIS article might shed some light on the issue.

Most people aren't listening when you talk to them. They're just waiting for their turn to speak.

Actually, most people aren't even listening to who they're talking to... they are just waiting to talk.

Is it a pride issue? When the majority of opinion is against you, and there exists expert opinion that you are wrong, why do some people persist in trying to push their opinion? In other words, why can't some people just admit that they are wrong? Don't these people realize that they are making themselves out to be the laughingstock of those around them?

It seems like when a lot of people are in such a situation, they begin to nit-pick over words (i.e. "what you thought I said was X, but what I really said was Y").

Yes, this was spawned by the MP3 vc CDAudio thread.

Yes, I understand. I don't like religious people either. 🙂

128 kbps mp3s sound just as good as a live concert and you know it!

Lies! That's way too high a bitrate for transparent CD-quality audio!
I recommend 64kbps mono. I can't tell the difference at all.
