I'd disagree on both notions- while my beliefs are firmly held, I also try to question them regularly. The reason they're firmly held is that they've managed to stand up to what scrutiny I've tried them against, repeatedly, for years. On other things, I simply haven't spent a lot of energy thinking about it, and as a result am more than happy to apologize if I'm even slightly in the wrong. Generally, I'm quick to apologize if someone's made a good reason for me to, as I don't regard the need to apologize necessarily with me being a worse person.
