David O. McKay presented a dramatic contrast to his predecessors: an athletic, movie-star-handsome, clean-shaven figure who often wore a white double-breasted suit; contrasted to the dark-suited, bearded polygamists (or, in the case of George Albert Smith, son of a polygamist) who preceded him as Church President ever since Joseph Smith.
McKay was susceptible to changing his mind, sometimes several times (such as the attempt to move Ricks College to Idaho Falls), but generally it was due to new information that caused him to rethink his prior position.
This drove his public silence on the issue of fls and priesthood, where not even his counselors knew 1) that he considered it a policy and not a doctrine, and 2) what he meant by “policy.” The problem was that some of the men around him did not feel the same constraint.
