It usually takes a lot more time to do and a larger inferential distance to bridge.
I understand the former, but the latter seems to be false to me. In my view, crazy ideas are “crazy” because they require crossing a larger inferential distance. Either that or they make no sense at all (like some of the ones here), in which case the inferential distance needed to reject the idea is also pretty short.
Edit: On reflection, I think I get this now and agree with you.
