Show me how I was wrong, and I will be happy to admit it. I have found errors in you argument, so your argument doesn't prove me wrong. I will never admit I was wrong when I not only believe I was right, but when no one can show me how I have erred. I have reexamined what I said before, and it appears to be 100% correct. People have proven me wrong in the past, and I have learned from it. There is no disgrace in being wrong, but I do see disgrace in saying I am wrong, just for the purpose of "buckling under", when I see no valid evidence of it.



Did you not see me say that median temps. are more important than spikes are? (more important doesn't mean that spikes are totally irrelevant) Doesn't the ease with which I admitted this point show you I have no problem in saying I am wrong, when I am?



(Here's a little story for you. (it is true) Last week I was feeding snakes. I always feed live rodents. I feed about 20 cages, then come back and clean, water, and replace the cages in a rack, and move on to the next 20 snakes. Somehow, I "missed" a rodent. I thought it had been eaten by a snake (my favorite, most valuable one). I put that cage back in the rack. I never would have done this with a live rat in the cage intentionally. A couple of days ago, I found my favorite snake with rat gnaw marks all over it. It looks like it will be fine. I was wrong. The weanling rat was still in the cage when I put it back in the rack. While I am upset by this mistake, I have no problem admitting that I was wrong when I thought this rat had been eaten.



Does that help you out any?
