Some of my favorite quotes come from Richard Feynman.
In many cases of certitude I have found that even when the person has researched extensively to create their conclusions, the need for certitude creates blindness to any information that conflicts with the construct of ideas. Some people have even said that their strength is in their certitude, but it demonstrates itself often to be a weakness because it eliminates the ability to grow. Our minds have been shown to have selective perception and embracing certitude exaggerates this innate flaw blinding us to the ways we are wrong. It creates traffic jams in idea space.
