Which is better?
To learn you were wrong
OR
To learn you were right
Let's say you are town. And thought X was also town. You were right. How does that feel?

Personally I think I'd rather be wrong as I learn something and get better. I think I'd rather learn from my mistakes than just be right. But how do you think?When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly- Randomnamechange

I'd rather be right because it lets me know I'm going in the right direction. You can get things wrong 100 different ways but being right can set you on the path to improving.
How I rank the feelings of the 4 scenarios (from feeling greatest about to feeling worst about):
Being right about a player being scum
Being right about a player being Town
Being wrong about a player being scum
Being wrong about a player being Town- Lycanfire

Ego? Right.
Otherwise?
Wrong. Definitely wrong.
There's no reason, short of ego, to want to learn you're right.
There's plenty of reason to want to learn you are wrong.- Killthestory

being right and being wrong can be equally misleading or teachable depending on how you integrate feedback into future playIn post 0, PokerFace wrote:To learn you were wrong

the idea that you can only learn from mistakes is false- PokerFace

There is value to learning you are right. Confidence comes from past success. Being right feels like 1 step forward while being wrong is a step back followed by 2 or more steps forward. The 'or more' makes it worth it to meWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Once again KainTepes wins the thread.
Also this actually exactly how I would rank the usefulness of those 4 scenarios in terms of helping me improve my play.
