Constitutionally incapable. See it over and over.

Actually, it's harder in the long run to not admit it when we're wrong. We wind up trying with every form of rationalization known to Man to prop up a faulty belief and reasoning system.

And when someone else can admit it, that threatens the foundation of the faulty systems. Is seen as a betrayal. It's a bit like someone coming along and lifting a big rock in their path that we were afraid to try to get out of our own path.

McFly seems to be able to adapt himself to the truth, and plow ahead without the baggage of the mistakes of the past. It takes guts, more than most people have, and I think it's easier and more honest. And leave a person free.

Wouldn't you agree? Or would you have the very slightest idea as to what I said?
