This is interesting to me - I had precisely the same reaction.

In fact, I've noticed that throughout my life my initial reaction on reading something that contradicts my previous beliefs is not rejection but extreme interest at the possibility I may have been wrong.

I don't know if that makes me very skeptical or very gullible. I think it's the former.

I think that's an excellent quality (if used with care), and it's probably related to whether you're the type that is happy to accept critique of your code, or get offended and upset when someone points out your mistakes.

I'm happy if someone finds a way to make my code better, because I can now easily improve it and hopefully learn from my mistake. I don't place much self-worth in the code I write; I care more about the end result of what I'm trying to create.
