Writing is rewriting?

I have respect for traditions that are able to look at themselves and re-examine their beliefs. And when the re-examination comes from old, well-established religions (in the Etz Hayim), I am somewhat surprised. Being able to accept new evidence that contradicts your beliefs is difficult, but necessary if you want to improve your understanding of the universe. Accepting arguments from authority, especially undeserved authorities, leads to trouble.
