I love how Elon phrased that. I think everyone should take note:
"My understanding is..."
Such a great way to get a point across without triggering egos with an absolute statement. If he's wrong, he's given himself room to backpedal and accept the correction. If he's right, he gives people a better chance of hearing what he has to say.
Someone else who does a really good job of this is Julian Assange. Gives you a TON of credibility in a discussion and makes your arguments go a lot further.
Although I agree with you, I find the usual libtard/troll/crybaby response is a simple, "YoU'rE wRonG!!" - without any evidence to back up their assertion, of course.
