I was probably the same about a low-carb/keto diet, years ago. I don't remember much about when/where I heard about it, but I do remember thinking that avoiding those whole grains was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard.
Then as I got into Bitcoin, and realized that Carnivore was a big thing in the bitcoin world, I became more open.

Its a hard truth to accept but its the way to avoid a lot of pain. I have found that for some people no matter how I present something they won't accept it from me.
I know this because I have seen it. I've seen them accept things from others presented with weaker evidence and effort that I had tried to sell them on. And others that respect me are open to me.
Age is often a factor but also perception. It can be impossible to change a perception of yourself that someone has. Often it's not at all your fault and they might be completely blind to how they discount what you say.
I'm pretty sure I also do this to others. Even though I try not to.
The other side is that some people need different methods of inquiry than what works for me. What works for me doesn't for them.
And most of all. If someone isn't open to changing their mind in my experience they will subconsciously do everything they can to NOT change their mind.
