A lecture or two ago, when Guy Keren was saying that linux would never ever be a gaming platform i tried to point out he was wrong, and it's actually doing OK, and everyone looked at me like i'm crazy.
Some rules of thumb I tweeted about recently:
If someone tells you something is impossible and you can't do it, it probably can be done.
If someone tells you something will *surely* never happen, it likely can happen.
If someone tells you are an idiot and are definitely wrong, then you probably uncovered an Elephant in the Room and are right. Also see “Encourage criticism and try to get offended”.
In general, people who are sure of themselves are probably wrong, as I am not even sure of the Aristotlean Logic which got us incredibly far»
people who are sure of themselves are probably wrong You forgot to take into account that, you too, are sure that Bitcoin is a bubble and a waste of resources.
i am not sure about that
People who are confident but cannot present a justification are likely wrong
likely - probably :)
