Yay! Arguing on the Internet works sometimes!
Of course! When someone is well reasoned and uses actual evidence then you can convince me of anything. I literally change my mind on a dime. I changed my mind on the war on drugs after a week of intensive research. Things like gay marriage took a longer time to tackle since banning it never made since but my religion required that view, so my switch on that issue had to wait for my slow deconversion from certain religious beliefs.
