Ah yes, where ever did I get that idea when forming my opinion about a site titled change my view, where you literally get a whole separate level of fake internet points for giving people deltas, cough, epiphanies?

Except CMV itself doesn't claim that that "whole separate level of fake internet points" are epiphanies, or even full changes of position

>The definition of 'change' (verb) is "make or become different."

>Following on from the previous segment, we therefore believe that a change in view simply means a new perspective. Perhaps, in the example of literally looking at something, you've taken a step to the side; or a few steps; or you've moved around and now stand behind it. Maybe you haven't 'moved', but it looks slightly different to you now; in a new light.

>A change in view need not be a reversal. It can be tangential, or takes place on a new axis altogether.
