i am like a Japanese Martial Arts Master - i seek out the greatest Masters and challenge them to a duel - if i lose the fight i beg them to become my teacher. then after they teach me their secrets i fight them again and this time kill them. then i repeat the process.

there is also another way to play the same game. if you see a young talent on the rise you, as a great master yourself, offer to teach them. then you deliberately teach them wrong so that they can never defeat you.

either way it's not about being right. it's about challenge and growth.
