The "I Was Wrong" Thread

There are very few ways to ‘win’ an argument online, but the easiest way is for one party to admit they’re wrong.

In the spirit of progress, paste up links to places you were wrong here! Maybe it’ll catch on.

Do NOT put up any post espousing anyone else was wrong other than yourself.

I’ll start:

I made a mistake here involving a decimal point (engineers will feel my pain). I was blinded by my distaste for magnetman even when the extreme orders of magnitude were shouting “WRONG!!!” at me. I still don’t think his idea is feasible, but it’s not as ridiculous as I made it seem. It may even work on certain scales and at an accepted loss to the bio-char supplier compared to conventional sales. But, magnetman, I apologize for putting false information up on your thread.

I’ll look for more of my own later (I know they’re out there) and post them up here.

Next?

Use the, “Search all posts by PavlovianModel146,” function when you click on my username. Chances are I was wrong in any one of those.

My primary weapon is self-effacement (it obliterates me as a target), so I refuse to participate in this thread. Not only am I wrong on a consistent basis, but I am fully cognizant of the fact that I am not humble. I may have more to say about this, so, ok, I’ll try and participate.

I’ll have to go with Pav, I’ve never posted anything that could necessarily be placed in the “that was absolutely correct” barrel.

Actually, I’m not certain I’ve ever posted anything even worth reading.

As a matter of fact, I’m not sure why I’ve ever even allowed myself to entertain the notion that hitting the “Submit” button would end as anything other than a wrong action.

While I’m thinking about it, why am I posting this rubbish?

Why am I even posting, at all?

Oh, here we go, this button will fix it …

The stuff that I know is absolutely correct is mostly mathematics/physics, which I’ve definitely messed up before on here. That’s one black and white area.

If someone realizes they misquoted or misrepresented someone or something, this is another place for it. Factual things are easy.

I’ll be damn impressed if anyone puts a change of ideology in here.

Not one of my better posts.

Every time I hit submit, I cry a little.

How can something that feels so right, be so wrong?

You may have been wrong, but that’s just a simple error. At the end of the day, you were merely wrong- he’s still insane.

But still captivating. Just in case you’re reading this, MM. :sunglasses:

There was a thread where I was grammatically incorrect - it was in a thread started by Sauwelious and overtaken by SpartunInjun - I was busy at work meeting deadlines and so didn’t have time to check my grammar before hitting that submit button #-o SpartunInjun picked up on my mistake and ran with it :unamused:
