To be honest, I'm not convinced that you don't want to argue. You have a couple of favorite beers that yo will always order if they're available. But if they aren't, you'll try a flight to find one that you like. That's great. Lots of other people do pretty much the same thing. But then you claim that there's something inexplicable (i.e., wrong) about people who enjoy the second part of your own approach. You're a smart guy; I bet you understand it just fine. But you set up a "two kinds of peple in the world" dichotomy that must be resolved. IOW, you started an argument (in the academic sense).
It's already been said, but beers can change over time. So can people. You yourself may someday find that you've lost your taste for something. Not Peeper's of course, but something. In fact, there's a pretty good chance that you already have. You may also find that you've acquired a taste for something else. Exploring new things can help one's tastes evolve (or help one realize that one's tastes have changed, for that matter). This is actually a lot less complicated than college stats.
I like single malt scotch. Always have. Used to be a real snob about it - all other liquor was inferior and not worth my time. Fortunately, I got over that eventually and now I have a whole world of other spirits that I enjoy. Maybe you're right and you will never taste anything you like better than Peeper's, but there's still a whole lot of joy to be had in trying to find out.
