Do you think he is intentionally being strong headed about things even when he knows he is wrong, or do you think he is just ignorant? Parents can be naive about a lot of things. My dad always carries the attitude that he is right about everything for some reason; he is wrong all the time, but he just doesn't acknowledge it. Like I will watch a gameshow on TV and he will "guarantee" that he "knows" about 5 different questions. He can be wrong 4 times in a row, but if he is right the 5th time he'll still say "See! I told you I knew it!!"
Everyone wants to be right. When my dad is strong headed I just accept it and let him have glory in his delusion. Usually it doesn't directly affect me.
