Uh... yeah, actually, it does. Being able to admit ignorance or fault, even begrudgingly, is an often insurmountable obstacle in any human interaction.

I'm not doing this to win an argument or something similar. I'm doing this to explain a topic that's important to me, to someone that can negatively impact said topic by jumping to conclusions. Conclusions which, to anyone not familiar with the topic, would appear totally reasonable. Even though in this case we're even in agreement, knowing the complexities of a topic is important to growth and understanding as an individual.
