I actually found some of that quite annoying. It described the behaviour of many intellectuals, and kind of inherently made it all out to be mistakes, like this: "They may have a mentality where it just feels 'wrong' to let a mistake slide. They may feel they just have to say something, and get a sense that they're restoring balance to the universe by sharing the Truth with others."
But who's to say it's not wrong to let a mistake slide? If everybody acted exactly as the author recommended nothing would ever get done...
