well, i think this is prolly where we differ, i think there is a difference between being certain and the ability to be wrong.
for instance, when i debate, i do it believing the conclusions i am supporting 100%, but if i am faced with clear opposing facts, i must concede, i can only do that if i can admit i am wrong, even though i was just 100% certain.
subtle eh.
