Educating people works. I mean, it's better if they aren't indoctrinated or wrong to begin with. Failing that, I do have to respect people who are presented with evidence they hadn't seen, or had just been taking peoples word for it, and have the courage to actually change their minds *publicly*.

It's why I'm not in favour of "they're all stupid". I wouldn't always disagree, but it makes it harder to reach people and change their minds.
