Having "lost patience" isn't being "a perfectly open-minded person", especially in light of the wikileaks etc. The media collusion, the FBI info, Combetta/Stonetear, the obvious health issues, etc. The main issue is whether or not you believe that's business as usual. And it might be, I'm not discounting that.

> Having "lost patience" isn't being "a perfectly open-minded person" Having lost patience is a function of applying heuristics to the never-ending, time-consuming task of evaluating information. I'd say open-mindedness refers more to an outlook, a goal or an attitude. They're not mutually exclusive. I get that the language is imprecise. A person who simply dismissed every incoming datum which fell into the "This Clinton scandal will totally blow your mind!" category would have been right very close to 100% of the time, which is a pretty good heuristic. If need be, that same person can simply wait for the evidence to mount and then alter their opinion. I have pity for anyone who really feels obligated to separate the wheat from the chaff (in the interest of open-mindedness!) when it comes to every outraged Clinton news item.
