- I think that is not it at all. This phenomena may show that we are
- talking about a group of people that is not interested in surveying
- all the information that is out there. They tend to put a lot of
- effort in drudging up 'older' references only rather than doing
- some real work and seeing what is out there and deciding for themselves.
-
- So, I don't think it is a matter of honesty directly, though it comes
- to that when their beliefs are exposed. Then they might find it hard
- to overcome the fact that they were wrong.
