Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

BTW, does anybody know if this is the first month ever that XBO hasn't had a single HW SKU in the Top 100 for the month on Amazon?
