How would I not be doing the same thing if I looked at other people as needing to be "fixed" any time their thought processes don't work exactly like mine?

People who have different thought processes from me are great! There's plenty to be learned.

People who are Always Right and who believe that anyone who disagrees or sounds like they might be disagreeing is Always Wrong and must be shouted down... those people are not worth fixing. I assume these people are what GP is talking about.

And yes, those people are real. Quite rare, but real, and a major pain in the ass to route around.

Always assume that it is possible for you to be wrong. Even if you think you are not wrong... just consider what the world might look like if you were wrong, and you'll be fine.
