I recently read about the Jewish concept of "temimut", which means "sincerity", with connotations of "perfect" or "simple." It's associated with "hod", which means acknowledgment or acceptance. I think there's a virtue here, of which "submissiveness" is a harmful distortion.

The complement, of course, is the "stalwart" component of intellectual integrity: *refusing* to yield truth in the face of pressure. "Eppur si muove.""There are four lights!" This side gets more representation in legend and drama. But yielding-to-truth is also important.
