I think the actual point of "Flipflopping" is those people who change what they say they believe due to popular pressure rather than a change in their own opinion. This is opposed to those who search themselves, find what they believe, and stick to it until given real data to change their mind. Flipping and flopping in every vagrant breeze of public opinion is not equal to learning new information and firmly and purposefully changing your mind.

Good point. Perhaps that is how it originated but these days it used as ammunition against anyone who changes to an opinion that no longer agrees with what you believe. That is my observation anyway.
