We have all experienced that one person who is totally wrong but cannot admit it. Many of us have been that person ourselves. As humans, we are attached to our preconceived notions. Our brains long to make sense of the world in any way possible. Learning something for the first time is easy. The challenge comes when we must adjust our thinking to make room for new information. Learning can occur quickly and with little exploration, but true understanding usually requires more work. Understanding causes us to go beyond a simple explanation and think hard about what we see.
