Chapter 6- The Great Crow Fallacy

When reading chapter 6, The Great Crow Fallacy, I realized that a lot of the me we think we're recieving facts, when all along they are only ideas one person may have, that may have little to no real scientific evidence to support their claim. After thinking about this, I wonder how many times I have fallen into schemes similar to this one. I can recall several times in my life that I instantly believed what someone was telling me instead of taking the time to analyze their research or their evidence. Our culture is so concerned with getting things done quickly that we often overlook small details that can make or break the study. The Great Crow Fallacy discusses how one persons thoughts and unprofessional observations were manipulated to become "facts" that were actually researched. From now on, when hearing something that seems especially too good to be true, I will take the time to look at the details of the experiment and the research methods used instead of just assuming it to be true.
