But tons of people can be wrong all together.

However I think Figleaf23 is the wrong one here and I agree that with such plethora of reasons given in so many posts in this thread, he could reconsiderate his posture with no dishonor. But after all he's trying to defend the Broad-Minded Quirk as an objective virtue providing benefits in a one-way manner, etc, for turning it into an odd sort of Perk. Hence his clash with the rules -and with reality.

Figleaf23 just isn't going to change his view on this.

Though I think the slight debate on how Broad-Minded and to a lesser extent Xenophilia should limit, and to what quantity, going on in the background is quite interesting.
