I agree, but it's still a counter point that isn't often discussed. Maybe you'll start to see more things supporting the argument now that it's in your mind.

- scott_s 18y agoI don't think the author's position is new or radical; I've heard it frequently. Your second sentence describes confirmation bias.
- jmtulloss 18y agoYeah, I know. Confirmation bias isn't a bad thing if you're aware of your own thought processes. You can see arguments for both sides if you're paying attention. All I'm saying is that just because you've made a conclusion a priori doesn't mean it's a bad idea to write about it. That's how argument and discussion works. It's only a bad thing when you've proven yourself wrong and you refuse to admit it.
