Denial is one of our fundamental defense mechanisms used to protect our psyche and it isn't going away anytime soon.

Everyone uses denial to some degree, the difference amongst people is how long they are willing to deny, before they acknowledge they are mistaken.

I don't think I can agree with that, If denial is trying to convince yourself you are right when you know you are wrong.... I ususally know when I am convinced I am wrong. Occasionally inapproate pride might cause me to pretend I am right, but deep down; I still know I am wrong.
