The less understanding of facts, the more pliable one is. That’s not a sign of strength or something that is admirable. It is a far cry from scientists that change their opinion based on evidence and new discoveries. And for that radiologist, I would joke with my medical colleagues that one who finishes at the bottom of his medical school class is still called Doctor.

"To be scientifically literate is to empower yourself to know when someone else is full of crap." - Neil Degrasse Tyson
In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really
good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually
change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They
really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists
are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I
cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or
religion. -Carl Sagan
