Are Skeptics known to ever change their minds?

Will you change your mind if I self-identify as a skeptic who has changed their mind?

Yes. I overgeneralized.

Pretty rational. These are cached thoughts often because they are generally correct.

I sometimes wonder if 'that is all', the fight against homeopathy, religion, fortune teller etc. is highly valuable. It sometimes seems to me like boring grunt-work where more would be possible. The picture of sanity plumbers sounds nice.

In that regard, the skeptical movement seems similar to LW, incorrect claims that reinforce peoples worldview are likely to be accepted uncritically but corrections will be accepted. In this regard, this is a (small) step up from most of the world where claims that support a pre-existing world view once accepted become almost impossible to dislodge.

Yes. I fell into this trap quite often, and still do.
