Neuware - THE PRICE OF BEING RIGHT: Why Defending an Error Costs More Than Making OneThere is a moment, in almost every mistake, when admitting it would still be cheap. Most people miss it. Not because they are foolish, but because the moment passes quietly, disguised as patience, loyalty, or the simple wish to see how things turn out. By the time the mistake announces itself, the price of admitting it has already multiplied.Alexander Chanthunya has watched this happen from both sides of the desk: as a lawyer trained to confront the strongest argument against his own case, and as a man who once lost more than $20,000 across seventeen months of trading, watching four screens that told him everything except the one thing he needed to know, that his reason for continuing had already failed.This book is about the gap between those two selves, and the mechanism that connects them. It argues that the original error is rarely the expensive part. What grows the bill is what comes after: the explanations built to protect a decision once evidence has turned against it, the sunk cost mistaken for a reason to continue, the pride that treats reconsideration as defeat. Money spent, time invested, and a reputation for being right can all conspire to keep a person moving forward long after the reasons for starting have quietly disappeared.Drawing on real disciplinary cases in which lawyers were sanctioned not for their original misconduct but for refusing to acknowledge it, alongside sharp, recognizable scenes from business, relationships, and daily life, the book traces how commitment curdles into self-justification, how attention narrows to protect a preferred conclusion, and how ordinary people become unreliable witnesses to their own decisions. It also offers something rarer than diagnosis: working tools. The written prediction. The deadline set before pressure arrives. The outside reader with standing to ask an inconvenient question. Devices built not to guarantee good judgment, but to make bad judgment more expensive to hide.This is not a case for indecision. Commitment is necessary, and second-guessing every choice is its own kind of failure. The harder discipline is telling the difference: knowing when persistence reflects sound reasoning, and when it has quietly become a project to defend an earlier self who no longer has access to what you now know.At its center, this book makes one demand of its reader: separate what a decision once was worth from what it is worth now. The error belongs to the past. What you do next is a new decision, and it deserves to be made with the evidence in front of you, not the pride behind you.…
