Notice these two sentences are slightly dissonant. The casual arrow runs one way in the first; but the other way in the second.
They appear dissonant because you've misquoted what I said. I said that faulty beliefs are a result of a low signal-to-noise ratio, not a result of people seeking sources that tell them what they want to hear. Both can be true. You can have both selection based biases and non-selection based biases. Please don't misquote me again.
