I've never met or seen anyone who self-identifies with a specific political label who was willing to accept they might be wrong.
That includes liberals. To be honest, the inability to consider alternative viewpoints is an attribute I associate strongly with liberals in particular.

"Libertarianism is wedded to an epistemological humility...we know we don’t know as much as we think we know."
I disagree. I read the OP's answer as, "The more education you have, the more you're prepared to accept the possibility that you're wrong." This leads to a greater acceptance of viewpoints (or at least the right to hold them) which you don't necessarily agree with, which is basically liberalism in a nutshell.
