re: #57 Dr Lizardo

And if it was one of their ilk that did it, the silence will be deafening. From their point of view, it’ll all disappear down the memory hole.

I don’t know if there’s a word for this. Jumping to conclusions based on bias, or doing stupid shit like thinking that a guy in Jordan being happy about this bombing gives us any insight into who did it, is always wrong. Even if you wind up being right, you were wrong to jump to the conclusion. But for a lot of people, when their evidence-less assumption turns out to be right, they see this as a confirmation that speculation sans evidence is actually just fine and dandy, and that people who said to not do so are idiots and PC and stupid. They think they actually had some insight that led them to the correct conclusion.

It’s aggravating.
