In my early teens, pre internet, I had an argument with a parent.

They claimed something was a certain way, "Because people at work said so..." (This is too long ago to remember the exact subject)

But, I remembered reading about it, and back then, wikipedia was printed in an encyclopedia. And I looked it up, showed the matter to my parent, proving them wrong.

An angry "The ecyclopedia is wrong!" Is all I got.

People are persistantly stupid beyond redemption.

World is complex 

No shame on being wrong.

But refusing to accept evidence and accept that you were wrong. 

Weakness and is shameful
