Would you rather; doubt and be right OR Trust and be wrong. And WHY?

Question:

Would you rather; doubt and be right OR Trust and be wrong. And WHY?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'd rather trust and be wrong. Self-respect entails respect for one's fellow humans. Then intelligence requires honing judgement by observation. But trust itself should surely come initially from observation and judgement based on intelligence and experience. Ultimately however I'd rather make a mistake and learn from it than live with paranoia.
