Actually, it is all the way around. You need a strong mind in order to see reasons and follow through arguments. Week-minded people are unable to see the reason, unable to learn and in general are not touched by the light of reason. As they say here, some people learn on their own mistakes, some - on others' mistakes, and some urinate on electric fence.
Acting against any reason is not being strong-minded, it is being totally irrational. People who can negotiate and achieve compromisses are not week-minded. Shouldn't be confused with people committed to the cause and loyal to some idea. This is about psychology, not intellegence.
Ygerna was commited to her cause, bec. she was raised this way, but it does not mean that she acted against any reason. She simply had reasons not to give up, and chose a death as a mortyr for the cause, which is always a rather great thig to do. She is strong-willed, it's for sure. All in all, I am much more simpathetic with bad guys (Damien and Ygerna) then with good guys.
