Willingness to consider all options is the definition of "openmindedness", and this attitude can lead you into a quagmire of options. Imagine being totally openminded about your religion. Why, you'd have 11000 to choose from.
Pick any issue. Marriage, for example. Willingness to tolerate any kind of marriage could result in a kind of marital chaos. You, with your traditional Christian marriage, are quite content, for instance. Your next door neighbor is an equally happy gay couple. Across the street live a pair of lesbians. Down the block a bit a half dozen folks maintain a group marriage. Across the railroad tracks some guy has declared his marriage to a statue of Madonna. (He recently divorced his flagpole). Who among us is sufficiently open minded to even tolerate that, let alone accept it!
Other than this website, probably noone...
