I hold some viewpoints that I know are less likely correct than others I know about, because the benefit of being right (if it is correct) is far larger than the cost of being wrong (if it's not correct). I find I have to embrace a viewpoint in order to think through all the consequences of it and arrive at an insight, which could either be a contradiction (and thus a proof of it's falsity) or a good strategy if it turns out to be true.
