true, but i think that fits much better in the realm of semantics than it does in practice. "open to change" is often shared with "desire to change" in many people, agreed? if that person desires change then perhaps that person is less open minded about the value of what has been?
i agree with you in many ways but i thought i'd offer that wrinkle to the discussion.
