Sorry yes I should have been more clear and I think I am agreeing with you. I was saying that most people just come up with a thought and retroactively apply "logic" to it so they feel like they've reasoned themselves there.

We call these people scientists but honestly in my experience even many scientists can fall into the first camp.
