Carl, I’d class schizophrenics with parrots and chatbots; creatures so obviously broken to so many observers that self-interested bias is plausibly a minor factor in our belifs about their rationality. For creationists I want to instead say that I usually have to go with the rough middle of expert opinion, and that goes against creationists. But there is the thorny issue of who exactly are the right experts for this topic. For Verizon I’d say what we are seeing is subject to a selection effect; probably usually Verizon is right and the customers are wrong.
