The opposite of pedantic would be "not afraid of being wrong", and also aware that truth can be subjective and never absolute.
Science and knowledge are dynamic, not static. It's hard to make science and knowledge more accurate, but it's counter-productive to not challenge old ideas, even if those ideas work well.
Pedantic, in my view, are conservative. Unpedantic is more progressive.
