The only reason they're considered paragons of tolerance is due to recency bias where intolerance towards anything before their time is considered a sign of enlightenment and therefore associated with all its other virtues, ie muh tolerance. Midwits are prone to this because they have genetically bad memories and poor ability to synergize old data with new.
. Also tolerance by itself should not be considered inherently virtuous, it is context dependent. Being tolerant towards something that harms you in the long run is just dumb and cowardly. It's selfish if you intent for it's consequences to land on your descendants.
