>Friend, who has changed his mind because we have learned much more about the matter. All credit is due to him for that.

Complimented for being a rational human being, no less.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Taylor_(British_politician... : appears to be the now almost vanished old school type of conservative. Member of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists, so at least knows some tech people. Europhile, to the extent of quitting the party over Brexit. Pro-space exploration. Anti-Iraq-war.

No wonder he quit.

And the people of Esher & Walton are now served by ... Dominic Raab.

I wonder how he treats his constituents. Hopefully better than civil servants.

Always good to reinforce positive behaviour especially amongst legislators.

Surely you are aware how rare it is for people to admit that they are wrong? If you take social consequences into account it's not even irrational for people to resist having to do that. Especially for politicians! So yes, he should be given credit for it.
