Loud is not the same as right

Volume, confidence, and persistence do not make your statements correct.  Some of the most wrong ideas in history have been shouted the loudest, masking arguments that cannot hold up to scrutiny. 

The difficult discipline is learning to separate what is forcefully stated from whether it is actually true.  That requires critical thought, reasoning and open discussion. 

Complex, honest positions are hard to chant.
