It is the triumph over the foible of expectation over observation, when experience has primacy. This is the self-challenge: Are we and our perceptions what we *want* or expect them to be...and if they are, do we then, scrutinize them, at least slightly more than we would do, otherwise? To insure that our self-serving bias isn't the thumb on the scale?


Sometimes, however, it is more beautiful to embrace the error...
