I’ll take someone who’s dumb over someone who is smart but rudely and confidently incorrect any day. Modesty, thoughtfulness, and kindness are too-undervalued virtues in our business.

I would still prefer the opinions of smart rude people over not, but agreed about modesty, thoughtfulness, and kindness.

And even smart people can be wrong. Sometimes a lot.
