    When you receive information that proves you wrong you can do 1 of 2 things. You can admit you were wrong, or you can double down and twist the situation to avoid admitting it. “This is actually what I thought would happen and I wanted this”. I actually think its cowardly. It takes courage to stand up and admit they were wrong.
