You’re right, and it takes humility to admit that you’re wrong and someone else is right. Personally, I will try to argue for my belief based on the reasons I’m holding it in the first place; but if I can see that I’m wrong and everything I’m googling is matching what the other person says, then I’d rather have beliefs that match reality than be right.
This is not only true on the internet. People are more interested in preserving their assumptions than learning something.

That’s the funny thing: I’d you change your beliefs to match reality then you are right. You just weren’t before.
