> Any given argument makes sense if your priors start in the right place for them. I disagree, at least sometimes. From some priors, you can logically and correctly reason to conclusions that are obviously wrong. (The most blatant way is when the conclusion contradicts the priors.) Realizing that is a very valuable skill, and the more intelligent and logical you are, the more valuable it is. It saves you from the "my logic is right, so I have to believe the conclusion" trap. No, you don't have to believe the conclusion; keep some common sense in your toolkit. |
