The process is way less important than the realization that you’ll never get a completely accurate view of something that is constantly changing. Therefore, as you put it, “better to assume the world is constantly changing” and adapt accordingly.

That said, for those who sometimes stick to one view in situations were they are emotionally attached (like me), a construct to force the questioning of assumptions and looking for at least 1 to 2 points of external validation can be useful.
