<p>so much of the problem with 911 and other truth groups: they do not take the time to go back to school to learn what "truth" is: it is avoidance of logical fallacies and principles of scientific reasoning. If they are not going to learn good methods to "truth" , then I say why do they bother? What is frustrating in conspiracy research is it is hard to tell which people are just not aware of this, and which are but are intentionally misleading. </p>
