It's cause the guys who do this don't end up arguing over stupid shit in the first place. | ||

Colbert had a guy on his show last night that was talking about another effect: instead of seeking out evidence to form opinions, you form opinions and then seek the evidence to confirm your opinion. Isn't that the Scientific Method in action? | ||

No the Scientific Method involves forming a hypothesis and then seeking evidence to confirm that, adjusting your hypothesis along the way based on the influence of said evidence to then form a theory. Forming an opinion then seeking evidence to support said opinion and disregarding evidence that doesn't support your opinion is not the scientific method. I know he doesn't specifically say disregard evidence that doesn't support your theory but I felt it was implied by the context. | ||

Sounds like the driving force behind Godwin's Law to me. Are your deepest convictions challenged by contrary evidence? Continuously strengthen your beliefs until you feel so right that the other guy must be Hitler incarnate to believe differently. | ||

Uh... I'll openly say that I've been wrong on the internet and admitted to it. People have driven points across to me and I've accepted it. Hasn't happened all that often. I have never won an online argument though. I'd like to think that the wisest admit defeat at times and broaden their horizons as much as possible. | ||
