Yup, you sure are right! In fact, it works all ways! No matter what the beliefs are, people fight like hell to hold on to them.
But as seeker5 mentioned, I don't think that Steve is at all saying, "if you don't get it now, you never will, so I'm not going to bother to offer you evidence." Rather, I understand him to be saying, "here's what works for me, and maybe it will work for you. I'm willing to tell you much about my subjective experience; discussing it with you helps me see my own views more clearly. But it doesn't help me to defend it or try to prove it; if you want that, you're free to do your own exploring." (sorry to paraphrase you, Steve! I'm just clarifying my own views by doing that, of course!)
