@sapinker On the contrary, it confirms a long-lingering suspicion that Harris' inconsistent reasoning is the product of confirmation bias.

@davidgaliel@sapinker David, you take a rational & measured analysis & call it biased because it doesn't fit your bias.#insular -
@lt_diablo@sapinker Similarly, he owns and likes guns, so he rationalizes his preference with dubious claims and unscientific sources. -
@davidgaliel ok thought experiment: do YOU own and like guns? Or eschew them? Hate them? Next: name 1 assertion you find dubious -
@lt_diablo Not conducive to twitter. Harris jammed in a lot in that post. I will write a rebuttal and tweet a link when it's ready. -
@davidgaliel roger that; but everyone thinks they are unbiased. We ALL are biased. This means you too. Check your FEELings vis-a-vis guns... -
@lt_diablo I've heard all of Harris' arguments before. My reaction was to his perceived authority vs his obvious lapse in empirical rigor
