I believe that RMB has inadvertently answered his own question.  Being able
to see "both sides of the story," pinpointing and carefully analyzing every
assumption that is behind a position, and being able to recognize that
somebody whose position is ostensibly clearly "wrong" may be working with an
entirely different conceptual framework, are all qualities that can serve
one well even outside the beis medrash, and make one a better human being.
