There’s a process for ‘challenging facts’, it’s called the scientific method.
What these people are doing is called the moronic method.
But it's so much easier if you just start with a conclusion instead of all the way back at observation. You don't have to do any work for soundness at all, just ignore facts that disagree with what you want to believe.
Sooo I'm a continuous improvement manager and work on process improvement, basically the scientific method for processes. The #1 rule I tell people when we sit down to tackle an issue is "The solution can't be in the problem statement." Then, they spend 5 days trying to challenge that rule instead of working with the observations and data.
but surely if I just write the perfect email all business issues will be solved and we'll make millions?
Sometimes people don't have a conclusion, they just want a more entertaining explanation than reality.
Conspiracy theories are so close to the scientific method. They're looking at data, drawing conclusions from them. They can disagree with each other in a civil way like scientists do. These people aren't dumb, it's some kind of mental problem. I think it's the same mental problem that can turn you into a sovcit if it happens in the legal field. These people need mental help
