One can try to be more objective and far exceed others, specially in your area of expertise, but you won't grow all the way and outlandish ideas live on under topics rarely examined.
If you make enough effort towards objectivity for long enough you continue to find crazy obvious stuff you actually bought into all along.
To do a funny example: People use to attempt to make devices to communicate with the dead. What happened to that effort? Did we just one day decide it can't be done? What evidence do we have to support that conclusion? We can try argue it is unlikely to succeed. We have nothing to show that supports any kind of likelihood.
Then it must be stuff we like to believe?
