[quote]You would think it would work that way but that isn't what the evidence would suggest. People invest their identity in their opinions and they don't easily give it up.

I suspect it varies with the importance you attach to a particular opinion but I cant claim to be an expert in the field.[/quote] As earlier said you are pretty adamant in your beliefs too, so don't try to mock me and mdk for staunchness in our's.
