The first effect of a training in intellectual neutrality is apt to look like cynicism. Take, say, the word "truth," a word which some people use with awe, and others, like Pontius Pilate, with derision. It produces a shock when the learner first hears such a statement as "truth is a property of sentences," because he is accustomed to think of sentences neither as grand nor as ridiculous.
