After a day and several replies from people. I've come to the conclusion that people here are ok with their party and leaders supporting genocide and they attack the questioners (instead of their party leaders) who criticize those who support genocide. Critical thinking is scarce here.

I'm shameful of humanity.

when I am confronted with new information, I add that into my belief system and my belief system changes accordingly

You've misunderstood the paper

It's not about information. The argument is about disagreement among epistemic peers. We all have the same information. You've not provided any information I didn't already know. I've not provided any information you didn't already know. We've been exchanging theories, not information.

The paper is about the status of disagreement in conclusions based on the same information.

As I said in my other comment, if you really can't tell the difference between a theory and the facts on which it is based, then we can't possibly have a rational discussion since rational discussion is premised entirely on that distinction.

We don't discuss facts, we demonstrate them by the presentation of evidence. We discuss theories drawn from those facts.

"You've misunderstood the paper."

I'm sure you wish I had.

repeatedly failing to gaslight me must be very frustrating for you.

"We've been exchanging theories, not information."

whole information not understanding as of limited of importance that invalidate coherent a information prior pieces accurately does of the.

or, rephrased:

prior limited understanding of pieces of information does not invalidate the importance or accuracy of that information as a coherent whole.

We are exchanging information, whether you recognize it or not.

Well, if you consider your conclusions to be facts, not theories then what are you doing here? This is a forum for discussing the item in the OP. You can't discuss facts, they're merely presented. I fear you have this place confused with a schoolroom. If you want to present facts, write a textbook.

"if you consider your conclusions to be facts..."

I do not. You're still making incorrect assumptions to draw necessarily false conclusions.

"This is a forum for discussing the item in the OP."

there you go! look at you, speeding up to 5th on the final lap.

"I fear you have this place confused with a schoolroom."

I am not surprised to hear that you are afraid of learning.
