Subject: RE: BS: Wrong sir!
Interesting.

I would have said the opposite.

Kids believe they are always right.

It is only when we get older (or should I say wiser as it does not always follow that age and wisdom have a proportional relationship) that we really begin to understand how miniscule our perspective is relative to the full spectrum of knowledge and understanding.

I would have argued that 'Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding WITH the guidance of another' - implying that one is incapable of seeing beyond ones ego.

Oh well, "...emmanuel kant was a real pissant..."
