Being too open-minded can make one's brain leak out, I think. When a reasonable person says they're open-minded, what that means is that they wouldn't burn a person at the stake for thinking differently than they do, and they might even spend some time considering that POV, but it doesn't require that they *comply* with it. That's where some people get confused - they don't consider thinking about something different good enough. It's that you have to change your mind and agree with it, or you're a narrow-minded git.
