I appreciate your humility. However, in regards to the op, I'm in great admiration of those individuals who, despite holding a particular position, will ultimately admit to gaps in their knowledge (thus, admitting that they don't know) and who will ultimately part with the comforts of their previous ways of thinking and embrace new ways of thinking and understanding, as new knowledge and facts become available to them. IMO, this epitomizes open-mindedness, progress, and growth.
