Oh, my comment wasn't intending to speak for any of the participants in
this thread on whether their minds are changed. I didn't realise that's
what you wanted to ascertain.

I was giving the general response that, admirably often, I see people's
opinions changed here as a result of discussing an idea and critically
examining it, respecting the members here to engage with ideas and get
to the truth of a matter. It works well, and it's a reason I recommend
people to this forum.
