Many people do not have a background strong enough to analyze papers. Most. Even many of us, depending on the topic, not either.
People are more driven by belief than anything else. I try not to as much as possible, but I humbly believe I am at least able to detect one thing: when things do not match each other and there are cracks and contradictions.
However, many people do not care to get informed beyond a basic article without any research (not even a paper) and will still fiercely support their positions. That is why I think people have more of belief and emotion than rationality when it is about highly politicized topics.
