As legendary investor Warren Buffett pointed out, though, "The fact that other people agree or disagree with you makes you neither right nor wrong. You will be right if your facts and reasoning are correct."

In the book

Hold faith that you will prevail in the end, but never let that faith excuse you from confronting the most brutal facts of your present reality. Remember that the crowd agreeing with you doesn't make you right, and the crowd disagreeing doesn't make you wrong — you are right only if your facts and your reasoning are right. And watch the trap of information: confidence grows faster than accuracy, and a flood of facts mostly feeds the bias you already had. […] Calibrate to truth. Avoiding the truth steers you by illusion; confront the brutal facts and examine your own beliefs honestly. Argue to learn, not to win. The crowd's agreement doesn't make you right — your facts and reasoning do. Choose your values on purpose, and teach them. Don't outsource them to the crowd or the culture. — True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)
