This was an interesting read. I would take a small exception to the
first study group being students. I can attest that it is more difficult
to have one's mind changed as one gets older ;-) . I'm sure there must
be an equation out there for this condition.
Regardless, it's worth reading, thanks.

I think that we all need to keep an open mind (small as it may be) and
many different opinions should be welcomed. When science sorts out the
various opinions, then we will be closer to fact.
An interesting and distressing series apropos this discussion is "The
Hidden Workings of Our Minds" at
http://www.spring.org.uk/2007/12/hidden-workings-of-our-minds.php
Based on experimental findings...
1. When coming up with their explanations, people don't seem to access
the correct thought process(es). If they do then it only happens when the
explanation is plausible.
2. Sometimes people do report the correct reason for what they've done,
but it's probably only a coincidence.
Makes one humble.
