Arrogant certainty attends
a line of thought which though correct in itself may
have started from wrong premises.
An incorrect idea which
would have led to a correct idea (or useful
experimentation) is chocked off at too early a stage
if it cannot itself be justified.
It is assumed that being
right is enough ‒ an adequate arrangement
blocks the possibility of a
better arrangement.
The importance attached to
being right all the time breeds the inhibiting fear of
making mistakes.
