I don't think it is hard to pick clear examples. It is harder to pick clear policies for examples that end up in some gray area.

Sure, but the parent was implying that if we reject some content is because we don't want our mind changed. A forum should have a scope/topic and it should reject off-topic posts.
I love subreddits with clear rules, then you don't see articles or comments that go in tangents, memes or american or international politics. The moderators can decide the gray area after user report. So trying to post some COVID or politics stuff in one of the good moderated subreddits will be removed and it is not because we don't want to open our mind.
The parent actually didn't refer to off-topic posts. It referred to posts that "challenge our beliefs, values, opinions or prejudices".
