Benquo comments on Sufficiently sincere confirmation bias is indistinguishable from science

[Benquo]

I think I mean the same thing you mean by “real beliefs, rather than, say, belief-in-belief”. So, I’m saying, it’s not confirmation bias that causes the good thing, it’s sincerity that makes the confirmation bias comparatively harmless.
