I wouldn't say it's hard, but you must separate evidence from self
interest.  People tend usually to believe what is comforting or
lucrative.

If you can get beyond that, you have a good chance of seeing clearly.
You evaluate the quality of evidence, *independently* of where the
evidence leads.  This is what science is (mostly) about.
