We all have certain guesses, hopes, intuitions, theories, etc, about reality, that aren't rooted in scientific evidence.

Sure we do, we have all manner of unjustified unprovable beliefs. But lets say I believe something that you really don't or have not considered before, would you not look at it and if you can't see it as something you could at least consider true would you not ask for further knowledge or evidence about it?
And if my evidence amounted to little or nothing (at least in you opinion) , what would you then do ?
I wouldn't agree with the person if their proposition made no logical sense to me.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
