Some folks would claim I'm not human ... :>
There are times I'm happier to be wrong. On a related note, if I've made a
technical mistake, I'm not going to take it personally as long as it's
presented as a technical error and not a personal failing. Most of the
engineers I've met approach technical errors the same way. This cartoon
pretty much sums it up: http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff800/fv00799.htm
Your favourite engineer might appreciate the cartoon, too.
