And yes, if the conditions change then everybody using their brain would reassess their position and change their mind as appropriate. They call that mental flexibility.

I noticed though that some other posters tend to stick sometimes with their decisions despite clear evidence that the story and the facts have changed. I know how to call this behavior as well, but it would not be polite to call it out.

Anyway - each to their own, but please, beagle - keep barking.
Our dog is a great watchdog being a wire hair foxy but when he wont stop barking incessantly at the next door cats or other nonsense things ,he gets a whack on the rear end with a rolled up newspaper as that's the only thing that will stop him.
