No- I agree, but it is always interesting to read one anyway. I read hundreds of books every year- I don't agree wholeheartedly with more than 20, usually less. But they are still entertaining. I don't think one should quit being logical merely because one is not going to convert the world to one's position. But I like reason, lots of people don't. I find that unreasonable, but understandable.

Speaking only from my own experience, I disagree. I have changed my mind after being presented with facts which undercut other facts which formed the basis of my prior opinion, on a number of significant issues. I believe it is known as having an open mind.
