But if it isn't you have other things to consider.The cost of the ingredientsThe time and effort of the person who made itThe good intention of pleasing someoneThough they may all have been for naught and the pudding had to be thrown out do we discount it because it was a failure?

And if I don't I feel proud of myself for trying my best. Winning everything all the time? Always being "the best"? Doesn't even sound good on paper to me. What about thee?

Or is it simply not agreeing with how you see things? Doesn't bother me to be disagreed with. With civility of course. In fact that's how you learn about things you didn't know. An alternate view shows up and you consider it. Maybe you hadn't even thought of it and so now you are armed with more information to form an opinion.
