Ridiculous nonsense from Ayer. Plenty of reasons. Depends entirely on what you're wrong about. A loved one not having cancer?https://twitter.com/RIPhilo/status/882555678463852545 …
No contradiction here. It's because it's good being corrected, you should mind being wrong. (Otherwise what reason for minding being wrong?)

I think the point IS that it is contradictory, a little playful - being wrong is not bad when you're not actually wrong.

tense might be a factor: it is not 'why should you mind HAVING been wrong...'
-
it is like a little joke in that sense: why mind being wrong when you're right? (Rather than deeper point)
