The thing is it's very difficult to discern which is which. For example, contrast Galileo pitching heliocentrism in the 17th century with a conspiracy theorist going on a popular podcast and saying the earth is flat. We can't all analyze everything so we default to the heuristic of "if it was true it's probably still true unless I'm curious enough to examine it for myself, in the context of other, more fundamental axioms that I can't possibly verify so I have to blindly trust". |
