I think it is important to not ignore different perspectives as it show’s a flaw in character.

I will leave this example which best relates to the field of oncology.

William Coley, known as the “Father of Immunotherapy,” faced an uphill battle in his own time to prove that purposely infecting patients with disease can be a viable treatment for cancer.

Back in the late 19th century, surgery to remove tumors was considered the only efficient method to fight cancer. But Coley, then a young doctor at New York Hospital, read dozens of stories of patients who had their large, inoperable tumors either shrink or disappear completely after contracting other dangerous, potentially fatal ailments.

It wasn’t until 1935 that the American Medical Association reversed their position on Coley’s toxins.

Case in point, the perspectives of others is critical to the progress of humanity as we have seen time and time again.
