      1/ I have an extremely angry reaction when someone tells me that I'm factually wrong when I'm factually right. Like, not healthy hey-a-psychologist-could-prob-have-some-fun-with-this extreme. Dealing with a proofreader right now who has MULTIPLE times told me

      2/ "this word does not mean what you think it does." MOTHER - !@#-ER. You looking up the word at http://dictionary.com  and finding that the one definition there does not comport with my usage does NOT trump the fact that I'm using it in the sense documented in the OED

      3/ as usage A - 9 - ii Some people stake their ego on their looks, or their social status, or their wealth, and having those called into question strikes at the core of their sense of self.

      4/ I think that I stake my ego on my fairness in considering arguments and researching things. Now, I absolutely make mistakes. All the time. And if you wanna correct me and say "no, Ben Franklin was NOT the 2nd US president" and provide a link, ok, cool.

      5/ I will update my priors and apologize. ...but if you tell me that I'm wrong when I'm right, it means (a) you did less work that I did (b) you confused "word X means Y" with "word X does NOT mean Z" (c) you looked for confirmation that your definition was correct >>>

      6/ ...when what you SHOULD have been looking for was confirmation that MY definition was correct / for evidence that your definition was wrong. This is an example of that human cognitive failure where people come up w theories and try to find evidence to prove them RIGHT

      7/ ...when the correct thing to do is to search out evidence that could theoretically prove your theory wrong (and the more pieces of data you find that fail to disprove your theory, the better your confidence in it can be).

      8/ but, back to how I'm an !@#-hole about all of this: if you challenge me and I'm wrong, I will blush a bit, but update priors, and take it as good intellectual debate ...but if you challenge me and I'm right, I got offended, as if my morality has been question which is dumb

      This is amongst the most infuriating things that people do, and you’ve nailed it down here. Drives me nuts too.

          I wrote a 400 page treatise around 20 years ago & battled a 23 year old Ivy-educated proofreader at the publisher who thought her shit didn’t stink over a couple of issues. I prevailed, but the incident made me so angry I can’t even talk about it today.

          You have my complete sympathy. I am still unreasonably annoyed at the editor who told me it was impossible to navigate from one planet to another with a slide rule. I chose ending the business relationship over replying, "I can do it."

          The world is filled with increasingly destructive intellectual negligence. It has never been more important to insulate ourselves from people whose malfeasance is literately destroying lives. Your confidence in your superior process seems justified, as does your righteous anger.
