It's easy to defend what you believe.
Harder, and better,
to name what would break it.
"What evidence would change my mind?"
If the answer is nothing,
you don't hold an opinion.
You hold an identity,
and you'll defend it like one.
The strongest engineers I know
argue for their design
and can tell you, precisely,
the result that would make them drop it.
That's not weakness.
That's how you stay correct
instead of just consistent.
Hold your ideas loosely enough
that the data can win.
– Serguey Asael Shinder
