I did not say that an open mind is better at receiving truth than one that uses a model to understand the world. I said that truth is something which can be picked up by an open mind and deflected by a closed one. If you wish to argue with me please argue with me and not with some straw falsity of what I say. I also did not say that having a model of the world is closed minded. I said that the important thing here is to be receptive to truth, even if comes through an unlikely source. Models are useful and not closed minded. What you are really doing here is avoiding the second paragraph in my comment because it defeats your original statement.
