Oh. Very true. And I think this is integral to why we get so much motivated reasoning in this domain (but to be clear, the argument you are giving would suggest when we have a real accuracy motive you wouldn’t see this? Is that your prediction? It’s mine.)

At some level, every mind must have an accuracy motive, or we’d go psychotic. The willingness to override it must be selective. Selective stupidity is possibly an adaptation that many of our ancestors were selected for at swordpoint.
