Perhaps the only thing worse than being wrong is being constantly reminded that you were wrong. Although some are right more often than others, no one is right all the time.
Thus, if you happen to be wrong, the best thing to do is publicly acknowledge the mistake, learn from it, and move on.
The same applies to being right. Acknowledge it. Learn from it. Move on.
Nevertheless, people who are right about something tend to scream it from the rooftops — this applies particularly to bloggers.
Rooftop-screaming bloggers also relish reminding the world of the people who got something wrong, regardless of whether those who got it wrong acknowledged the error.
Put another way, rooftop screamers have a penchant for rubbing it in.
On the flip side, rooftop screamers tend to be far less vocal about their own errors, mistakes, and delusions and pass these off with hushed mumbling, provided they acknowledge being wrong at all.
This is relevant because some of the bad calls that rooftop-screaming bloggers have made are real doozies and of far greater magnitude than the wrongs they incessantly berate others about.
Something to consider when you hear voices coming from the rooftops.
