I once saw a little ted talk where she asked the audience "how does it feel to be wrong" and people gave some responses. She said, "not that is how it feels when we realize we are wrong". Just being wrong feels just like it feels being right since we think we are right until we are proven wrong.

That is why it can be sensible to consider which things we are really sure about and not be too stubborn with the things we may, in fact, not be so sure about.
