By the way, why are we acting as if seeking accuracy and truth is a bad 
thing?

Personally, if I were interviewing job applicants, one of the things I'd 
like to know is how well they react to criticism. This especially applies 
to technical and programming roles. I've managed thin-skinned prima 
donnas who spit the dummy if someone dares point out they made a mistake, 
and so long as I'm involved in the hiring process I won't be doing so 
again. Give me a pedantic, technically precise, obnoxiously *correct* 
coder over a sloppy one any time.
