I have apparently got the reputation of being a person who thinks I'm 100% right, 100% of the time.
And that I am always unshakably certain I'm right all the time.
It's not true.
I do the "check and recheck and triplecheck some more" thing.
If I am standing firm and unshakable, it's because I've done the research/observation/homework/whatever to make me that sure of my particular position.
I will entertain possibilities if they fit in with the research I've done, but not people just yelling "You don't even want to admit you're wrong!" because I annoy them by coming off so certain about stuff.
I get the feeling part of that was about me.
