Yes, being able to maintain two or more competing, and sometimes even conflicting, hypotheses in one's mind at the same time is crucial to the scientific method.

Fitzgerald had been an alcoholic since his college days, and became notorious during the 1920s for his extraordinarily heavy drinking, leaving him in poor health by the late 1930s. According to Zelda's biographer, Nancy Milford, Scott claimed that he had contracted tuberculosis, but Milford dismisses it as a pretext to cover his drinking problems. However, Fitzgerald scholar Matthew J. Bruccoli contends that Fitzgerald did in fact have recurring tuberculosis, and Nancy Milford reports that Fitzgerald biographer Arthur Mizener said that Scott suffered a mild attack of tuberculosis in 1919, and in 1929 he had "what proved to be a tubercular hemorrhage". It has been said that the hemorrhage was caused by bleeding from esophageal varices. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The latter ("incredibly fickle").
Moreover I'm often able to keep in mind 2 (or more) opposite ideas or
opinions of mine.
But I am not a troll by any means. It's out of my interests.
