Yeah. The most commonly ignored but fundamental scientific principle
is "correlation does not imply causation".

Psychologists have determined we make up our minds first, then seek
out the information that supports it.

These universal human tendencies are the basis of the simple tricks
politicians and religions use to convince people bull**** is fact, and
it is ridiculously easy and effective, e.g. "flip flopper" means
changing your mind is a mental or moral defect.
