It is good to be open-minded enough to change your mind, and to say so.

The first woman Cantor in our synagogue went to the part of Germany, where
her parents came from, to sing in a synagogue there.  Before she sang, a man
came to her and said, "You're not a Cantor.  You're a woman."  Afterward, he
came to her again, and said, "You are a Cantor."
