"Ways of thinking", in my opinion, should be an evolution. The problem isn't so much sincerity as it is the way people manipulate ideas and data to fit their preconcieved notions.
I personally believe that each of us should constantly be challenging our opinions. That's what I call "intellectual honesty". We shouldn't just sit back and assume that something be have believed for 20 years is true just because we've believed it for that long.
This doesn't mean we're all going to come to the same conclusions. It just makes us all better able to support our conclusions.
