Why not always be right?  (24/12/17)

While enjoying a Cowboy Bebop marathon, my brother and I crossed swords when I suggested a character was being illogical.  The character attests that she left another character  (in as painfully a way as possible, but that's irrelevant)  because he was always right. I cannot see how intentionally making a decision to be wrong and do wrong is a logical choice. I cannot wrap my mind around the concept of explicitly ignoring the wisdom and mistakes of others, especially as a logical path. I cannot discuss with my brother because he can only cross swords--never exchange ideas. Typically, I would ignore this occurrence, but I now have  (hopefully) a domain to have someone explain the logic in the female character's choices. I am admittedly biased because people complain of me "always" being right and I cannot understand even the emotional motivation of such a complaint  (much less a logical disliking).
