Happens everywhere where there's voting involved. Convincing argument I feel sounds right > argument that's actually right.

Yeah, I think humans are predisposed to make decisions with our gut rather than objectively reviewing available evidence.

It’s probably an evolutionary thing. For ancient humans, quick decisive action to do what feels right probably let you pass on genes better than taking time and consideration to choose what IS right.
