"how often are you wrong?"

[ExiledTidefan]

I heard a survey and interviews on NPR with the following question:

How often are you wrong?

Most people answered the obligatory "well, I guess it happens sometimes". A lot of people believed they were rarely ever wrong. Some insisted that it was a hard question to answer because it had to be put in context, but the survey wanted a general, everyday response.

For myself, I'd say "most of the damn time". I have guessed horribly at everything from whether to get married, to which job to take, to which stock to buy and then when to sell. I suck at decisions that are small and take no time to decide, and I equally suck at questions that require significant time and carry a lot of weight.

I concede that I am a proverbial loser, and quite frankly, it's liberating admitting as such. I am entirely a delusion of a delusion.

So, anyone else care to answer "how often are you wrong?"

Once. I thought I was wrong, but it turns out I was right.:shock:

Everytime my wife and I have a 'discussion' about something.

Reminds me of the old philosophical question:

If a man says something and there's no woman around to correct him is he wrong anyway?

I am wrong about 20% of the time. How's that?

(I just completely made that up. See, I'm a thinker. I think things through before I ever, ever, ever offer a solution or make a decision. So I am usually right, because I have considered every scenario. But there are lots of times I say "I don't know" and look up the answer or whatever, and I always ALWAYS admit when I am wrong. Except in Politics, so don't try. )
