Maybe someone should now spend the next 200 posts telling you how wrong and
unqualified you are.



There is no need for that. In response to a politely-phrased clarification he
stated _I stand corrected_.

There is one contributor here who instead would have insulted the one
offering the correction, accused him of commenting out of blind emotion and
ego, and claimed unyieldingly to be correct, no matter how many contributors
chimed in to support the one who was clearly correct. Somewhere along the
line, this contributor would turn his argument around, pretending it was the
other who had made the initial mistake, and lamenting that the whole world is
deriding him, only demonstrating their wholesale incompetence. He would then
resort to a _prove it, correct it_ diatribe, claiming to be _always right_
rejecting all responses, including those which clearly traced the initial
error and reasonable correction.
