I don't know. My natural reaction when reading something that clearly makes no sense is to assume that maybe I misread something, go back a bit and read more carefully.

Maybe it's because some people have the default assumption of "they must be wrong", and others "I might be wrong", and this determines how their knee-jerk reactions look like?




I work from the principle that I know that I am wrong and so is everybody else.

From that I then try and get a grip on how wrong everybody is and then react according to what seems to make the most sense at the time.

Then later I reflect on my actions and curse myself for being wrong.
