"Vietnam is one of those "Rashomon" events that allows all Male Answer Syndrome sufferers to "Save Face". No matter what they say, nobody can actually prove them wrong."

Is that philosophy or psychology, or is it both?

If it's philosophy, I wonder what "opinions" are susceptible to being proven "wrong?"

If it's psychology then I'd guess that we're all guilty of buttressing our opinions with arguments in order to "save face."

Unless, that is, you think that all you have to do is say it and that makes it right.
