        No, you didn’t.

        You just leaned into your own, lack-of-evidence-based, conclusion that you had made previously.

        That’s not what it takes to live in a fact based reality.

          It’s an absolute necessity to do that to live in a fact based reality. People do not have the TIME to exhaustively research every single thing down to base facts. Not to mention the access, ability, finances, etc. Sometimes, hell most of the time, you have to synthesize information and make a judgement call.
