What's so great about making it easier for people to fool you? What's so great about making it more likely that you'll make a decision based on poor evidence?
Please, I'm seriously dying to know. What are the advantages of believing things on the basis of poor evidence or no evidence at all?
Speed and possibly surprise?
You can certainly make a decision faster if you don't wait for all (or more...) evidence.
And, sometimes, it can be fun to make a decision just to see what will happen instead of for-seriousness.
Of course, for any decently important decision, I totally agree with you. And also agree with your WTF-ness on shying away from being a responsible adult.
And now, back to my cave!
