In training graduate students, one of the hardest lessons to teach is the value in being wrong in interesting ways. The phrase that trips them up the most is "expected results".

I think it's that same repulsion to "being ignorant" (which is really just a shorthand for "looking stupid to whomever I'm speaking with") that prevents ANYONE--academic or otherwise--from asking questions, being corrected, &c. Humility must replace hubris for knowledge to grow.

Haha I've never met an academic afraid of asking a question
kidding, but totally agree on the hubris part. I feel impostor syndrome is a large driver of this, that questions reveal how little you know in front of brilliant scientists who know everything! - Show replies
