But people generally want to believe in certain things. See confirmation bias. No amount of argument refutation works, because many beliefs are not rational. Many people hold on to existing beliefs until reality forces them to accept that they're wrong. Sure, they aren't intentionally lying to others. But in a way they are lying to themselves. That doesn't mean I advocate suppression. But I definitely believe people need to be taught about cognitive biases in school.
