>>I've been on SI since 1995, and as far as I know the only person who has actually changed his or her mind on the basis of these discussions is . . .<<

MM -

Well, then you missed it when that happened on this very thread earlier today.

I've done it myself, on occasion, as well.

>> also learned that being open-minded is over-rated. It means that you don't care much about anything that has ever happened to you or will happen to you.<<

Your learned disregard of open mindedness is, I think, wrong. I certainly can't see how being able to change your mind means that you don't care about what has happened and will happen to you. I think there's a great value in being able to see when one is wrong. And nobody is always right.

Here's an opportunity for you to admit you're wrong about that. ;-)
