Have you ever thought about why, generally speaking, people do not check the facts? From the start of specialization, information has become specialized as well. When a expert speaks, people generally accept what they say and only, maybe, check their logic or reasoning. We tend to check reasoning rather than just facts because reasoning is in your mind and we use it everyday. Reasoning is not specialized. Facts and obtaining facts is a very time consuming task. Fact gathering is specialized and victim to bias. In a debate, it seems that people are arguing about facts but in reality I think they are arguing about world views and philosophy. Can you ever escape the grip of philosophy?
