So many people in this world won't admit they don't know something, can't do something, or won't admit they were wrong. So we get crappy information/advice from employees too scared to say they're not sure.And we see people argue black is white unti l they look completely ridiculous. X factor auditions are one example but there are many many others. We see people out there in wintry weather completely unable to admit to themselves that they can't drive in snow and ice. And increasingly here on Mumsnet, many posters do not have the good grace to admit a misunderstanding and apologise.
If I don't know the answer to something I say so and try to find out. If I get something wrong I try to admit it, learn from it and apologise as necessary. Am I really that unusual?
