"
We not only tend to overlook or forget negative evidence that contradicts our beliefs,
but when others point such evidence out to us, instead of thanking them for this chance
to correct our beliefs, we tend to get angry with them, and this anger increases
in direct proportion to our commitment to the beliefs."
- Negative Evidence - Richard Levin
