More informed does not necessarily protect one from being misinformed (your "no" implies your statement necessarily disagrees with mine - it does not).
> An example of this is Holocaust denial. A carefully selected set of facts in isolation can make someone believe the Holocaust didn't happen; this does not make "the Holocaust never happened" an informed belief.
Finding a positive example of something is easy, now try demonstrating there are literally zero counter examples, which is the claim you are making.
Also to consider:
- Is "informed" both a binary and non-decomposable?
- Might you be expressing your opinion on the matter, but representing (and perhaps perceiving) that opinion as a fact?
- "One important thing they could be more informed about for example is how slippery and illusory colloquial English language is, and the effects that has on the "reality" one experiences."
