Great Post Fran. I'm guessing that the desire to never be wrong comes from some sort of shame reflex. It wouldn't just be that your brother would feel wrong about whatever topic he was conversing on. I suspect that instead of feeling like "oops, I guess I am not completely right about this topic," he probably feels more like "Sh!t, I AM not right as a person." What a shame it must be to feel like you HAVE to be right to be a worthwhile person.
Also I LOVE your signature line. That's the power of self-validation - you can be drawn into people with no fear!!
