Yes. but the respect is for the person expressing the point of view, not for the point of view itself.

Can one therefore 'respectfully accept' that as a point of view?

A Jewish community radio station has shut down in the wale of terror attacks. The reporter in this article says s/he doesn't believe it,s too dangerous for the radio station to continue broadcasting but s/he "respects" the information given. Sigh. One can't respect information. One can accept it as a point of view.
