If you spend your life cultivating and protecting only the pretense of knowledge and wisdom, never allowing yourself to seriously engage with any challenging ideas that risk undermining this identity, you won't mature, and will never become genuinely knowledgeable or wise.

Well, let's say that a man is presented with certain statistics and data on what kind of social or demographic background will make it likely for his wife to cheat on him or leave him. And he discovers his wife fits the bill perfectly. Would it be unlikely that he freaks a bit?
