"We live in a day and age where people often mistake being wrong for being a liar. When someone makes a mistake or when someone is factually incorrect about something people accuse that person not of being wrong but of being a liar and there is a fundamental difference between the two. Being wrong is an error in fact. Being a liar is an error of character. And what I have noticed in my limited experience is that the people who accuse someone who is wrong of being a liar are oftentimes the people who are most reluctant to apologize for being wrong because they in their own minds assume everyone else is going to call them a liar the same way they called other people a liar. I hope that's clear enough. And this philosophy contributes to a world in which no one ever wants to admit to having made a mistake for fear of that admission being weaponized as an accusation of them being a liar and so people don't admit when they make a mistake instead they just double down on their own mistake."
