I don't know why this has to be asked at all. How do you make a correct judgement based on incorrect information?
"I don't know why this has to be asked at all."
This question is simple, but it is always interesting to see how people response to it.
Some people seem to think it some type of attack on some belief somewhere, but the question is designed to be completely neutral. It is not aimed at any certain belief.
It is a common sense question, and there is one obvious answer, but some have a problem with the word
truth, but that is kind of the point, as truth has value; value that is too often overlooked.
The question is not really about belief at all, but about the value of truth. However, the question is not trying to define what that truth is; that is for each reader to determine.
So I think there are many aspects here that validate asking this question.
"How do you make a correct judgement based on incorrect information?"
Probably because having good judgement includes far more than simply having the correct information. Don't get me wrong, I definitely think good decision making and having accurate information are linked, but there is more to it then just being right.
