I agree with you, but do you not think that even within OP ranks it's possible for people to stick to THEIR traditions even when they are presented with evidence that what they have come to accept as truth is not supported in Scripture. I know that I have personally encountered close-mindedness among OP's who didn't care what the evidence to the contrary was. Something had been repeated for so long it had to be the truth!
