Changing beliefs

If a per­son changes from one posi­tion to another, in which this other posi­tion is antag­o­nis­tic towards the first, I often find that the ensu­ing crit­i­cisms speak much more towards the per­sons (1) pre­vi­ously held beliefs and (2) rea­sons for belief, than of the posi­tion per-se in ques­tion. That if such a per­son were ever crit­i­ciz­ing any­one specif­i­cally (and pri­mar­ily), it would be themselves.
