Perspective vs. Truth

lk 🇨🇦🇺🇲 • Take a risk: be kind.

When someone posts or says something that is demonstrably false and the truth is provided to them with facts instead of feelings, why is it that some people, rather than admitting that their original information was incorrect, say something like, "Thank you for bringing your perspective." It's not a personal perspective, it's the truth.

Thoughts?
