Decide which of the following are conclusions that she draws:
Being wrong is preliminary (necessary condition) for learning
Double blind experiments are designed to control for confirmation bias (tending to see what we expect to see)
When we feel certain about something, that feeling is evidence that we are right
Before studying what it means to be wrong--we tend to be wrong about what it means to be wrong
Each method used by scientists is designed to overcome the various ways in which we habitually get things wrong
Being wrong is something we should be ashamed of and hide.
Inattentional blindness is a condition that only a few people have.
Our imagination tends to make things up
Sometimes we are better off being confident, rather than right
Stereotypical thinking is one way we habitually get things wrong; that is, assuming already know enough about something and then failing to test our assumptions.
The fact that we do not know whether we are wrong, proves we are right
A way to improve learning is, to think you already know
Studies show that eye witness testimony is not reliable as evidence.
Human beings are rarely fallible in many ways (and its a good thing).
Most scientific discoveries are made by finding a way to make theoretical ideas testable / operational, and when someone stops assuming s/he already knows enough about it.

Being wrong is preliminary (necessary condition) for learning
