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

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

Replying to @MorlockP
what i hate is when i am like “well i have been doing x” and people are like “you should do y and z! it’ll be better!” so i go look and y doesn’t even exist yet and z isn’t available because the documented setup is no longer allowed to be done
