You've noticed that other people's narratives/beliefs are internally inconsistent.
Perhaps you haven't noticed that this technique can be applied to your own narratives/beliefs? Because your beliefs are inconsistent too.
Everybody's beliefs are inconsistent - it's a systemic issue. We know about it. The root cause is the fact that language is recursive and it succumbs to Russel's paradox/liar's paradox.
Philosophers have been using inconsistency as a crutch for guilting people into changing their minds for... ever.
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes. --Walt Whitman
