A small inaccuracy can catch in your attention until it is corrected. Even when the larger point is clear, the wrong date, name or detail feels too important to let pass.
- interrupting a story to correct which year it happened
- looking up a minor claim during a casual conversation
- clarifying the exact name of a bird when the speaker only meant 'something like that'
- returning to a finished discussion because one number was slightly wrong
Looks vs reality
The same Experience can look very different from the outside than it feels on the inside.
Trying to show off how smart you are.
My brain caught a bug in the data and I feel a genuine need to fix it.
Wanting to start an argument or be confrontational.
Just wanting everyone to be on the same page with the correct information.
Nitpicking about something that doesn't matter.
An internal alarm is blaring 'INACCURATE!' and it's physically uncomfortable to ignore.
Disrespecting the person telling the story.
Trying to make sure the story's foundation is solid so I can follow it properly.
