A popular belief, but I am not sure it is entirely accurate. I've noticed that
people in general tend to exclude data they do not care to accept as accurate and include data that - regardless of accuracy - they believe to be true. I don't see any more or less of this on Wrong Planet than I do on other forums, and I think that picking and choosing data points to suit one's beliefs is not very logical.
I'll re-post a portion of what I wrote a few posts before this, responding to you Verdandi, which you conveniently ignored.

I think while some people might try to play Mr. Spock and claim to be "totally logical," there is a second group that jumps anytime someone mentions the need for more logic and less emotion. They scream, "but we NEED emotion! It is illogical to say anything else! Oh!" when that's NOT the argument. The argument is that while we all have emotions, the scales are often tipped way too far in favor of such emotion at the expense of logic. Not that the scales should be tipped fully in favor of logic.
It's an odd agenda.
I'm offended you deliberately ignored this on an emotional level. But that probably doesn't concern you, does it? Yet, your behavior actually helps to prove the point.
