>The main thing to remember is that being wrong isn't the end of the world

well it depends on how wrong you are. Being wrong, especially being wrong and confident can be a pretty costly combination. There's a reason the principle 'be liberal in what you accept, conservative in what you send' exists in programming. Being afraid of being wrong imposes a cost on you, not being afraid generally tends to impose a cost on others.

The fear of being wrong isn't just some evil invention by a team leader with a clipboard, it's an instinct that genuinely exists for good reason, it makes people scrutinize their claims. In general I think we tend to live more in a culture where people speak without thinking and too often propose solutions based on questionable intuition than the opposite. Especially in business culture where it's pretty rare for people who are responsible for something going wrong to internalize the cost of those decisions, mostly someone else just ends up dealing with it.

It should be okay to share something and get feedback, as long as everyone is aligned to get to the bottom of the truth.
