Yea sorry I was recalling from memory.

> One question, have you ever considered the opposite of what you're saying to be true, or looked for the evidence for that?

I look at what the scientists who have spent years in that field are saying and is peer reviewed.

You go searching on the internet for the answer you expect, you will find it.

> authority bias

Authority bias is where an expert in field X claims to have knowledge in field Y when they don't.

| Authority Bias: The cognitive tendency to overvalue the opinion of an authority figure or expert

lets not make up definitions for your own convenience.

Authority bias is the cognitive bias where we give disproportionate weight to the opinion of someone perceived as an authority figure, even outside their domain of expertise.

What a lot of people outside the scientific field fail to realise that when a claim is made by an expert in their field, it is peer reviewed and challenged or accepted.

The whole point of science is that you can challenge wrong ideas and change your perspective.

Like I said though. If you are just going to the internet to find something that aligns with what you believe, that isn't peer review.

Did you not share this above? This contradicts to me your definition here, which is just copying what I shared and stating it as thought its now your opinion. Comes off like gaslighting by the way.
