    Since I haven't said this in a little while, your regular reminder that I'm not some mega-genius and it's entirely possible I'm wrong. No one can always be correct!

        I'd rather you were dogmatic (for my own sense of relief) but I guess that would be more the style of a person with a biased agenda.

        Now that's a confession. Thank you for your honesty. But finding the humility to admit you can be wrong (and this critically examining your own views, as well as listening to outside criticism) means you're more likely to get stuff right in the long run.

        Self-doubt is the keystone of critical thinking.

        Many of us appreciate your analyses. But which bits, specifically, are you less confident of? Surely you don't mean this to be a blanket disclaimer ("everything I've written could just as easily be wrong")?

        I’ve seen you admit you were wrong in the early stages of the pandemic and I completely respected that. But, I have been disappointed to see you not give others the same slack. I’ve seen you join the pile on eg @normanswan

        Don't snitch tweet, It's never good. I don't like the pile on on Norman Swan either but there are better ways of showing support than this.
