I find that such a buzzwordy phrase. Weakly holding a strong opinion seems oxymoronic.


It's not... you can feel really good or bad about something, but also be completely open to having your opinion shaped by new information and be willing to switch. That's what it means. As opposed to strongly holding opinions (whether they are strong or weak) and actively resisting conversion attempts.


I think basically it’s the Scientific Method in action. Use the best evidence until even better evidence is presented.
