Thanks to u/v8power for the excellent suggestion!

It's a tricky topic!

This is 1 of 2 round tables this time, due to a tie.

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions or voted!

Isn’t that literally Dunning Kruger? Believing things because they agree with things you already believe? Following ‘instinct and intuition’ is a terrible way to determine veracity, as everyone instinctively wants to believe things that agree with them, and wants to not believe things that disagree with them.
