Kathryn Schulz:

On being wrong

Most of us will do anything to avoid being wrong. But what if we're wrong about that? "Wrongologist" Kathryn Schulz makes a compelling case for not just admitting but embracing our fallibility.

fallible (capable of making a mistake <we're all fallible>)
all the beliefs I hold 
dimwits (a stupid or mentally slow person)
distorting (to change (something) so that it is no longer true or accurate)
baffling(to confuse (someone) completely)
red herrings (something that distracts attention from the real issue)
