conflict creates uncertainty who's wrong?
Page 203 conflict creates uncertainty who's wrong? Who is right? An ambiguity that we feel compelled to resolve by acquiring more facts.

In the book
Handled this way, a conflict becomes a course correction rather than a collision — a gift rather than a threat. Arguing actually makes us think better — it forces us to evaluate rather than just assert, it seizes our attention, and the very uncertainty of who is right compels us to go gather more facts. Some of the deepest mutual respect I have ever seen was built between people who argued constantly — but argued, always, about what the real questions were, and never doubted each other's worth. — Communication & Conflict (Communication/Conflict)
