Early prior differences based both on genetics and early reinforcement causes low level systems to prioritize sampling over certain domains, time windows, etc. This compounds into paying attention to significantly different aspects of sensory and would still lead to disagreements even if the stimuli subsequently encountered were the same. So most of the polarization is already baked in by the time we get to levels of processing happening within conscious awareness.
Also: agents manipulate access to some forms of evidence in order to collect rents on the information asymmetry.
