Like most fears, our fear of wrongness is half real, half spectral. It’s not exactly true there is nothing to fear but fear itself, since wrongness really can have clifflike consequences for our lives.

For everyone involved, then, looking closely at the experience of wrongness is far better than refusing to look at all.
