You no longer have the means to determine what is obvious if you mess with which parts of your worldview are up for verification. You just have a story you dont want to question for believing what you want to belief. This is an incredibly bad idea.
To take the moon example, congratulations for figuring out its not made from actual Swiss cheese. Its a great first step. Unfortunately there isnt complete knowledge about everything you ever need to know about the moon attached to not believing it to be cheese. You having wrong or incomplete knowledge of the moon doesnt mean the moon is made from cheese. And people trying to communicate to you an angle you are missing can extremely easy be framed to sound like "moon is made up of Swiss cheese". Its using strawmen arguments to figure out reality instead of trying to steelmen people to figure out what they are looking at where they maybe overshot to deal with a problem you are unaware of.
You didnt just finish thinking by having determined some stuff to be stupid. You are not done. I get that you think this needs some means of simplification but reality doesnt care about what you think should or needs to be possible.
