"Open-minded" is not a synonym for "accepting anything that sounds good with flowery language and pseudoscience". It's the same shit we hear from the 9/11 Truthers, Bigfooters, anti-vaxxers, alien abductees, chemtrailers, and homeopathy pushers. "Just open your mind, man, look at the latest evidence of <insert bullshittery here>."
There's a reason why we have standards of evidence, and accepting something before it has met those standards is not being 'open-mined', it's being naive or willfully ignorant.
