Sometimes it's about being right or wrong; but often it's about the fear of being excluded.

Paraphrased from the comments of
David Brooks in an TV interview with Charlie Rose, March 2016

Sometimes, the isolation of being "right" is overwhelming. It takes a special type to handle the outsider's role.
Sometimes, there's really no other choice.
