Are Skeptics known to ever change their minds?

Christopher Hitchens demonstrated a great ability to change his mind. He agreed to be waterboarded and it took him less than 10 seconds to change his mind about whether or not waterboarding was torture.

He never said it wasn't torture... the experience just made him somewhat more enthusiastic in his pre-existing opinion.
