    Only a feeble mind can't handle reading all of the opposing views on a topic. Reading others' views often aids us in growing in our positions. The other reality is that it allows us to think about the gaps in our positions and, whether or not, our positions are incorrect.

    During my schooling, I continued to challenge most of my positions by reading others and, occasionally, would read a good argument and change my position. That's the point of education. To expose us to contrasting viewpoints in order to see if our a priori conclusions are valid.
