New data suggesting that a larger percentage would be willing to change their mind given reasonable evidence?

I know you're trying to be snarky, but come on.

Changing one's mind about that would mean to no longer find that terrifying, not it no longer being being the case.
I think this is actually a reasonable point- there are nuances for which there is no imagined amount of evidence to sway some opinions. For example, I highly doubt many scientific studies that suggested benefits to high amounts of lack of response to scientific studies on opinion in the population is a good thing would actually make you less terrified.
