Being wrong is clearly a hot topic and being right is the more socially acceptable way to go. Game shows like The Weakest Link are successful, in part, because it is so darn obvious when an answer is right, and a wrong answer means you are a nitwit. The host even tells you so. Let's face it.
People love being right.
They love watching someone get it wrong when they had it right. They feel good about themselves. In spite of that, there is a contingent of people who believe that there is more to life than having all the answers. Kind Than to be Right. Try telling that to anyone who sits at home at night watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
