In order to have confirmation bias here I would have to be taking a stance on this.

I have doubts that’s be confirming a bias. It would be interesting to me if this were true. It’s a conformation bias in your end to have assumed otherwise, funny how that works.

Its quite troubling that others see it as a character flaw how I don’t incorporate every factoid I come across because it’s sounds cool. Really makes me wonder how much nonsense others carry around in their heads.

I would rather admit to not knowing something that is true than believing something that is false. If that is worthy of your ridicule, that’s on you.
