Plus one on accurately quoting/applying strong opinions, loosely held. Anecdotally, most of the time I see this applied people just want someone to be easy to convince. Easy to convince should be a function of the data/reasoning that lead to the currently held choice. Until an exceeding choice is found, why relinquish the currently held one for one with _less_ data/rationale?
