But it needs to work both ways.
They can be wrong, and acknowledge it, or be wrong and deny it.
Yeah I know, I just meant accepting from the start that it can evolve and that mistakes can be made. For instance I read a book about the Dalai Lama meeting a bunch of scientists and discussing the mind from all perspectives, and once he'd questioned a particular point to his satisfaction he just said to the effect 'we were wrong, we'll update our understanding'. No pride or stubbornness just a willingness to accept the truth wherever it came from.
