Getting to the new insight is only one reason why people change their opinions.

Often people change their argument istead because at new time different position benefits them most. Or because they don't think trough what they are saying. Or there are simply people who like to win. In my experience the later ones happen lot more often than people getting better understanding.

Changing opinions in smart people are often not oposites of previous one, but upgrade of previous position.
