That's the key difference between denial and skepticism. Skeptics are open to new information. Denialists (who may call themselves skeptics) will build elaborate houses of conspiracy cards to bolster their beliefs.

Exactly. The key question to ask any “skeptic” is, “What would it take to change your mind?”
