I've been wrong on many ocassions, and every time I've apologised and admitted my error. In fact I go into every argument with the attitude that I might be wrong this time too, and very few things annoy me more than people who "know" that they're right (witness my reaction to posters here whose sole contributions are confined to rants against the "other side"). The only thing I won't back down from is my conviction that no one holds a monopoly on the truth, and those who act as if they do are the most dangerous people alive.
As to Tom Petty? I just liked the quote.
