Being wrong is summed up by the Italian cognitive scientist Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini, who noted that we err (are wrong) because of (among other things) inattention, distraction, lack of interest, poor preparation, genuine stupidity, timidity, braggadocio, emotional imbalance, ... ideological, racial, social or chauvinistic prejudices, as well as aggressive or prevaricatory instincts. Now, I respect this opinion, but my own opinion is that we most often err because of the pride of life. We are simply to proud to believe we could be wrong, so we refuse revelation and truth.
