Tug of War – I Change You or You Change me

I use this philosophy when I’m reading technical materials.  In most instances I may think something appears wrong but most times I also know that I am who is wrong. Thus I search and test until I figure out why I had the wrong point of view on the particular information in question.  Its a tug of war. Most times the factual material wins out. After all it is factual. ( arbitrary rating at best but its as good as we can do )

So I thought about it.  When I deal with people so often I’m accused of being stubborn.  These accusers are not familiar with how I play the above game.  They are dissappointed not because I won’t change the bit make up of my mind.  Their upset because their argument is not strong enough.  If only other people played this game more vigorously.  Unfortunately they do not.  Thus global warming is actually given serious consideration.
