That seems pretty small-minded.

Closed minded maybe, but not small minded. Just like closing your mind to 2+2=5, once you acknowledge 2+2=4. Once you know truth, it makes no sense to keep your mind open to error.

When considering questions of the infinite, it takes a considerable lack of humility to assume there is no more to learn, IMHO

BTW, check Kurt Godel re: 2+2=4
