Interestingly, it also has a bit of negativity bias. This means that any story, however anodine or ground-breaking, will have:
- a group of people using some motivated reasoning to show how obviously terrible the thing is and how clever they are;
- a group of people arguing that the thing is the best since warm water and is going to solve everything (if only reality would behave).
This makes a lot of discussions simultaneously very interesting and utterly depressing.
