Lines get drawn. Folks take a stand. Heated debate ensues. Which is healthy.
Do you change your views and concede a point or two if you realize the other side presented you with facts unknown to you? Or do you dig in your heels to fortify the defence of your position?
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
I give in, but then I don't debate much.
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
We Pakistanis are not known for conceding much, at lease in talk/debates.
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
I will be less talking if I find out I am wrong.
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
I would simply admit if i find myself wrong. But I would def clear my side of why I had opposite views before.
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
The question is not "if" but "will" you find yourself wrong. Admission comes after acceptance and acceptance is hard, harder than the diamond.

It’s my way or the highway, dang it !! 
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
I agree with Gora Kala. Human nature makes it very difficult to accept that you were wrong, even after being presented with the facts. But only when you do that, you can truly change your views accordingly. It requires a lot of character to do that.

Wouldn't it be better to state ones error rather than avoid talking?
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
She might as well slap her own face than do that.

Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
It takes more courage (or brass Pres Clinton would say) to admit ones error and more to sincerely apologize.
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
But then, are facts always true?
"I'm sorry, you are right" usually suffices.
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
The assumption here is once you are presented with "true fact". Yes your response is the right one. How many people can bring themselves to say those words?
Re: Willingness to change views as facts change
Naturally, you would go off what you know at the time. In the future if it turns out to be wrong then its ok to admit you was wrong. I have no issues with it and would accept it.
