Although I appreciate where your comment is coming from, namely her tenure at yahoo and probably tongue in cheek, people can change their views for genuine reasons and should, mostly, be admired when they do so. It takes courage to publicly admit that you are wrong

Nah, aligning with the trends is anything but courageous and admirable. Especially if one was very vocal about opposing them. Double especially if the move is out of one's control.

It's great when people admit when they have changed their mind and the reasons why - but a lot of "political" people simply change and never admit they recommended anything else.

That's completely reasonable, but some people won't highlight that they have changed their mind as they think it makes them look weak.
