This is a fundamental in my own life - discovered by struck of luck in my youth.

In school, all standing in a group around a subject, I made a remark regarding this or that.

The teacher looked amused and corrected me - the inevitable muted giggle spread -

and to resurrect myself I claimed:

"I prefer being wrong, thus I have learned two things: one; that what I thought was right is wrong - and two: what is actually correct."
