Possibly he has something.

Affectionately known as "El síndrome de don Quijote" as they say in French.

Or said in Spanish.

Except he doesn't seem funny.


Or cute.


Hope they don't put up wind turbines in his neighborhood - he might mistake then for windmills ...

I understand that it is difficult to admit when we are wrong but when faced with information which completely refutes our premise isn't it time to cry uncle? Or at least shut up?
When corrected, I find it best to drop my previous, erroneous assumptions instantly and thank whoever it was that helped me get smarter.

But there are whole threads on SI, started and supported by folks who are dead wrong for years, yet never admit it and never change.

Apparently, same happens on Wall Street, given galloping the wrong way on the highway studs like this here Mr. Ed still have a gig, instead of a styrofoam cup on the corner.

Luckily, my investments have nothing to do with theirs. ;-)
