We are all free to hold our own opinions ... but to comment on your first 3 points, I feel that they are very subjective. That is you wish to submit whatever it is you are trying to understand to fit within your own set of boundaries. Not everyone does this as you imply. Many people, including many on this forum, are willing to suspend their own personal beliefs in the search for a true understanding ... they are willing to go wherever the road takes them no matter that it often takes them from their own inner beliefs. This is a true objective approach.
We all suffer from stereotypical views ... we all need them for our own personal wellbeing, but these are our subjective friends, do not let them become an objective guide.
Your 4th point I would rephrase ... What is true, is true for all, regardless of what any individuals within that all may think.
