The only thing that really matters is to 1) know your limitations 2)
recognize it when you find that you were wrong about something.
It is no secret that once I thought XML and OO were great, but that is
precisely why now I can much more strongly state that they are total
worthless bullshit that should *never* be used.
This is why I like garbeam, even despite our many disagreements, and
that he usually denies that he could be wrong for a long time,
eventually he almost always recognizes it when he was wrong, and
learns from his mistakes.
Changing your mind (*in the face of new evidence or understanding!*)
is not something to be ashamed of, it is something everyone should be
proud of.
