Davy Crockett said in that Disney movie "make sure you are right, then go ahead and take action".

I do not know anything about the talk show host you mentioned.

It is simply a matter of if you feel you are the student, or the teacher.

Now if some debater makes a logical objection to my "right viewpoint" then I will be the first to admit it was wrong. Or at least I will doubt my self until I can think of the right response to that objection. (unless I am just having fun with debaters).

I do not think you must humble your self to admit that someone else has a more correct view then you do. On the other hand I see nothing wrong with trusting your own knowledge and experience relative to a topic under debate, but if it is just our opinon then we should add that to our comments. In my opion.

And beware of getting trapped in an ego contest.
