Given that I am wrong, I would prefer being proven wrong to not being proven wrong.
Yours is probably the central case, but “prove me wrong” and “I hope I’m wrong” aren’t unheard-of sentiments. For example, a doctor giving a grim diagnosis. I think this can only (?) happen when the (perceived) value on the object level outweighs concerns about ego.
