in that you honestly accept the fact that you are on a path like all of us. Accepting and admitting our doubts is great because whatever direction we choose along that path will be ours alone. You wont be someone who's coerced or stuck by fear. I think it's good to stay open minded but at the same time not be afraid of taking and testing our positions and sticking to them, but only as long as the data holds... then be willing to change if it does not.
