If you have to be right every time, you’ll end up right and alone a lot.

Winning every exchange has a price that arrives slowly. Each small correction is reasonable on its own, and together they teach people that talking to you is a risk, so they stop bringing you the half-formed thought or the thing they are unsure about. You keep your accuracy and lose the conversations. Being right is worth something, and it is not worth everything.

In the next few days, let one small inaccuracy go by. Not the ones that matter, just the date someone got slightly wrong in a story. Notice how the conversation keeps going, and how much more people say when they are not being marked.
