Smart people defending bad ideas
This article immediately brought a few people to mind that I’ve encountered throughout my career (no, I’m not talking about you ML, but I think you came close one time *g*). It’s a bit of a long read but worth it in the end, especially the last half of the article from ”Killed in the long term by short term thinking” on. To be totally fair, even I’ve defended a few dumb ideas in the past but in the end was never too stubborn to admit that I was indeed, wrong. Though, once again in my defense, I was rather young and naive.
