As someone who has changed his mind fairly often when shown sufficient evidence, I’ve rarely been mocked for it. If you’re sincere and can explain why, it’s not really problems. It takes humility and a certain amount of confidence to say you were wrong. It also helps not to be a dick about your beliefs. I prefer to explain why I believe what I believe. When people know why you stand for something, your surface beliefs make more sense. I’ve made being correct more important than being right. It’s really hard to make a meaningful argument when I’ve just said I agree with you.
