Because handwriting analysts tell people they are an accepted branch of psychology and there is not enough time in the day to question everything. At some point, I heard handwriting analysis was pseudoscience, so I looked into it and they were right. I've not looked into whether quantum physics is pseudoscience because the people in my life who appear to be experts in the subject tell me it's real and I don't feel like pursuing a physics degree to tell if they're full of it. Regardless of the perception you have of yourself as a critical thinker, for most things we accept thinds as true by default and only flag certain suspicious things for further criticism.
