Retract that statement
Ok, it seems I threw the cat into the goldfish pond.
The combination of prejudice with evolve provoked me to that statement. Prejudices, I think, are characterized by the very fact that they don't evolve but stay fixed in the face of evidence. Uncomfortable discoveries, on the other hand are often for a long time discredited as "prejudices" - example? The BSE story.
