I originally had just the second sentence, but I thought that the "making yourself right" phrase was too ambiguous (it allowed for the interpretation "correcting yourself" as well as "justifying current beliefs despite evidence").

Completely different topic, but is there a cheat-sheet for how to format comments for bold and italics? I would have liked to bring the focus (2nd sentence) of my quote to the forefront.
When you are writing a comment, there is a "Show help" button in the bottom right corner of the text box. It normally shows the codes for bold, italics, links, etc. Now it is not working for me for some reason.

If you hit Show Help on the lower right of the comment box, it will have some brief primers. To answer your specific question, writing one astrix at the beginning and end will make italics (no spaces). Two astix will make bold
