honestly I do think it's the default human mode and not remarkably objectionable; starting from the conclusion is a good way to reach the conclusions you need to reach, and if you can't build a good chain of reasoning it's a good sign you need to pick a different conclusion.

the other is a committed Marxist, and he walked into the room with the conclusion that since something bad happened, it was because of the bourgeoisie exploiting the working class, so he sifts the evidence for things that can be made to say that. he is doing motivated reasoning
