What often happens is that somebody discovers something is true, consciously or unconsciously, but then so firmly roots their minds around it they are not willing to accept the idea that there may be even more truth underlying it.
My rule of thumb is never believe something 100% and never doubt something 100% because that leaves you unable to change your mind, and thus reduces your free will.
There must be some small amount of doubt and trust present, otherwise you are committing yourself to dying over that belief.
Not to say that people doing that are bad. I understand it and hope they are content committing their body and soul to that, but for me there is always the potential for a deeper understanding that I am not willing to shut off.
