1) Do you save face and admit you were wrong, and save your constituents money?
Or:
2) Do you blindly and ignorantly carry on, so you look as though you're a strong leader who knows what they're doing?

You could also look at #1 as being a strong leader for correctly mistakes.

Let's see - a scientist has said global warming is a 'scam', and we all believe him because he is a scientist, and a scientist would know, wouldn't he?

Several hundred scientists have said that global warming is real, and potentially dangerous, but what the heck would they know?

1144628 2010-10-15 05:44:00 A very long time ago most people insisted the world was flat. That belief did not make them right though did it?

Or to put it another way. Some people insist that Nortons is a very good AV and they get paid to say that. Others who don't get paid say different.
