Clyde_Cope, Highwater, and Kevin -- Thank you for taking the time to engage here. And hopefully, you'll and many others here, do find the time to read Dietrich Dorner's book which I referenced earlier:

"An individual’s reality model can be right or wrong, complete or incomplete. As a rule it will be both incomplete and wrong, and one would do well to keep that probability in mind. But this is easier said than done. People are most inclined to insist that they are right when they are wrong and when they are beset by uncertainty. (It even happens that people prefer their incorrect hypotheses to correct ones and will fight tooth and nail rather than abandon an idea that is demonstrably false.) The ability to admit ignorance or mistaken assumptions is indeed a sign of wisdom, and most individuals in the thick of complex situations are not, or not yet, wise." ~ Dietrich Dorner, The Logic of Failure
