My theory is that we have a personality dimension related to "tolerance for being wrong"
In 'real life' we're ultra careful about implying, let alone proving people are wrong. Considered by most to be highly insulting! And showing someone they're wrong is often interpreted as disrespectful.
On the receiving side, it's common to hate the feeling of being wrong and deny reality itself when the feeling comes around.
All of these common cultural assumptions and potentially biological traits are deeply at odds with programming.
