Seems a lot of folks think an open mind is a great thing. It's as if demanding proof before granting agreement is a bad thing.

Wow....having an OPEN MIND has NOTHING to do with NOT demanding proof. In fact someone with an OPEN mind is very OPEN to the proof.
What you are talking about is not an OPEN MIND. Not sure what the word is for it. But someone with an OPEN mind is willing to look at ALL the facts and proofs one can bring up. Having an OPEN mind does not mean accepting ALL things as true without proof. Having an OPEN mind is a good thing.
For example: A Muslim without an open mind will not look objectively at whatever evidence you can present for Christ. A Muslim with an open mind will take a look at the evidence objectively..
Open mindedness means objectivity
Close mindedness means subjectivity.
