Dude, please respond to what I said, not to what you think I must have meant. It is not incoherent to acknowledge that one's beliefs, even one's very strongly-held beliefs, might be wrong. Yes, I think that I'm right, I'm pretty darn sure I'm right, but what if I'm not? And I'd never find out unless I, at least sometimes, let people who disagree with me try to convince me they're right.

Do you want to live in a world where your strongly held beliefs are dominant (not exclusive, but dominant) or in one where you are in the minority? Haidt is saying a person would not want to be in the minority. They may _believe_ in a minority moral opinion but their goal is for that moral opinion to become a majority opinion, not for it to languish forever.
