There is also an element of how you process information. Some people jump to instantly refute an idea with a counter example. Some people jump to statistical likelihood. There’s elements of trust vs trust but verify.

Some people, through practice and experience are better than others at breaking down foreign information and making sense of it, or jumping to an assumption.

I also think there’s an element of just remembering what my final conclusion was on an opinion, vs all my old opinions and all the work to get there. It’s easier to just store current belief and re-work-it out how I got there later.
