The main problem with « faith in lineage » is that it’s institutionalized argument by authority. It’s a giant bias.

It's more like "adopting the view that this will work," because doing that works. It's a pragmatic argument, in practice. Dogma certainly creeps in when you get away from practice into politics, but "bias" isn't a concern in awakening. It's all about what works.
