In fact, it may be non-productive to sit on the fence, so there is motivation to take a 'side'.

I'm not sure your assumption is correct. More numerate people may make such a instant judgement on ore controversial topics, because the topic is controversial. Given more data and information, perhaps they are also more likely to come to the correct conclusion over time?
