This is definitely A Thing that happens. But I still think it's more common for people to somehow rationalize not changing their mind, even in the long run.

I wasn't suggesting this is the only way people change their minds. I think we should concentrate on how to make it happen more often, not necessarily caring about people admitting they're wrong.
