FIRST OF ALL, I could be wrong on this. By the way, have you noticed how rarely most people ever admit they were wrong? What’s the big deal? Why don’t more folks enjoy saying, “Well, I guess I was all wet on that one.” I love being wrong. Seriously. I like getting ideas and pitching them, and if they ultimately (or even immediately) don’t hold water, I try to learn something from my mistake and pitch another one. Most people never reassess their opinions on anything: movie reviewers, political pundits, wives . . . No critic ever says, “Gee, millions of folks seem to like this thing, and perhaps they’re right, but I just can’t stand it,” or “This piece of art offends everyone except me and my nine friends, but maybe the others have a point.”
