Well I get that, there is typically a chain or a line of thinking that goes with that. I don't trust a person who holds a position unless I know their methods of what lead them to that even if I don't agree.
No matter what you do in life you can be wrong, but being unable or unwilling to take a risk is worse than being wrong, because there is no pause button in life, and if someone ever events one, I am going to track them down, and move get it and move to Fiji.

Hahaha Stubborn is better than being easily lead, because at least if you do change their mind you know you worked and earned them being convinced, or you being more convicted.
At least you know where things come from and how they got that way, it's also great to have people you love, willing to help keep you humble.
