The problem with the conclusion is that it assumes identifying the healthy information is simple. Fewwilfully choose to be wrong. Everyone is convinced to be right. That is the true heart of the matter: the absence of self-doubt. (And, in many cases, even scorn to those who are not adamant about what they believe.)
To take a topical example, people who believe Trump are doing so because they believe he is the source of truth. They chose him over others because they think career politicians are a power-hungry liars while Trump being an outsider is telling the truth. If you start out with this premise, then everything Trump supporters do and think makes sense.
It has nothing to do with junk thoughts. It has to do with your fundamental beliefs and values.
