Truth-seeking & being wrong

Name the key items in "Truth-seeking & being wrong", then explain why each one matters.

Step 1 of 3

Truth-seeking is Cursor's stated value and on a security team it's load-bearing. The whole discipline runs on accurately modeling reality - what an attacker can actually do, what your control actually prevents. An engineer who can't admit they were wrong about a risk is dangerous, because the bug doesn't care about your confidence.

This round wants the one story most candidates fake: a time you were genuinely wrong about a risk and corrected course on the evidence. Prepare it deliberately, because it carries more truth-seeking signal than any other story you have.
