This ability to be wrong is essential and so so rare. There's almost nobody who's infallible, but plenty appear that way. In reality, they care more about never appearing wrong and therefore edit and censor themselves until they're only speaking on subjects where they can't possibly err.

The rest of us pick up on this and sense the plastic shell. Worse, by never risking, they never excel in the way they could.
