It is interesting to hear you say that. I would not go as far as to contradict you but I would be equally unsurprised to find out that I changed my mind more than I thought I did. This too is a human bias that crops up all the time, albeit in different circumstances. People are quite capable of completely changing their beliefs to a new belief that they sincerely believe they had all along.
This is a miscalibration that can go either way depending on which way the ego is pulling at the time.
I would like to read something more in depth about this. Could you write up a post, or link to an article about it or something?
