No, you have not. Most "corrections" I see in this group are in fact
expressions of conflicting opinions. Since my facts are almost invariably on
the money, corrections of those are neither necessary nor forthcoming,
although on some occasions I've had people "correct" things that weren't
wrong, despite overwhelming evidence that they were right. Emotion is a
powerful distorter of reason and judgment.


The fact that you cant ( or more likely wont) ever be convinced you
are wrong does not mean that others cant see your errors. I can
still recall you trying to tell a physical chemist that the ideal gas
law doesnt apply in the atmosphere, simply because the gas isnt
contained in a piston like the drawings in your high school chemistry
book, And no amount of explanation could convince you otherwise.
Ignorance and pride are powerful distorters of reason and judgement
also. Ignorance comes from sitting in a lounge chair thinking you can
understand things as well as people who do them.

Anyone can state " my facts are invariably on the money" but people
whose facts are invariably on the money, are normally people in high
demand for their skills and knowledge. They invariably dont work for
peanuts, or beg for handouts.
