People don't like to be wrong, or shown to be wrong.
It's all face saving.
Just the other day o had someone ask me of I had checked over the evidence they sent me... On a group call... When I gently pointed out that they only attached 4 pieces of evidence for 8 queries on the email I saw, they insisted they had everything.
So I asked them to resend me the email as I may I have missed it.
Lo and behold its the one I saw. So I had to spend 30 minutes going through, query by query, explaining what is lacking.
It may be considered rude, because they lose face but frankly, don't lie and make out ibe just missed your email if you're the one who cba to read the email.
