I hate false humility, but true humility, at the very least, makes someone much more pleasant to be around. Especially in the context of debate or argumentation, I despise people who argue from the position that there is no possibility that they are wrong. Unless I'm arguing on some physical thing that I can (and have) hold in my hand, I try to qualify my arguments to indicate that they are to the best of my knowledge, and not absolute pronouncements. I feel that this sort of argumentation enhances my credibility, due to my acknowledging the possibility that I am misinformed.
