Healthy confrontation is a tricky thing. It's human to want to win your point (for Affliction, to make you cower before him and apologize for whatever it is he thought you did). So even when one realizes that they had the facts wrong and that there's no reason to try and win the point, some feel like changing their course, compromising or capitulating (for Affliction, saying that he must have misunderstood your intentions) is admitting defeat and humbling themselves to others. And some can't let themselves do that.
i have to force myself to think rationally and kind of let off the gas a bit when engaging in any sort of confrontation. i want to be right. Always. So when i understand i am wrong, i make myself acknowledge it, rather than do what my reptile brain wants to do, which is keep pushing my point harder and harder, slinging whatever erroneous facts and ad hominem attacks i can, just so i won't have to say "i was wrong"
