       how do you distinguish between writers who may often be mistaken from writers who are disingenuous and perhaps not worth bothering with?

       @interfluidity are these writers who have editors or not?

       @artcollisions some with, some without i think. do you think having editors should be a discriminator?

       @interfluidity I think it's important to look at the reasonings for why people are wrong when they're wrong. There are many reasons for mistakes.Methodology isn't nearly as important as the results.

       @interfluidity by disingenuous logic, refusal to acknowledge inconvenient facts, and inconsistent reasoning

       @interfluidity when an author is simply mistaken, they’ll probably revise their position when corrected, vs. sticking to their guns regardless. oh, and selling supplements and/or seminars is a big tell

       @interfluidity Why is a writer who is often mistaken worth bothering with?One is sloppy, the other is a liar.  my time is to valuable for either.

       @Phil i think there are lots of ways to be mistaken that don’t reduce to sloppiness. the space of things to consider or fail to consider is infinite. tradeoffs must be weighted and can be misweighted. i think nearly all writers on complicated subjects are often mistaken, but i don’t think nearly all are disingenuous.

       @interfluidity I once heard someone say "yeah he mixes in lies to fool other people, but _i_ can tell when he's telling the truth". Aka "I give him unlimited shots at fooling me"Every day I try not to be that credulous dupe!

       @interfluidity I interpreted your question incorrectly it seems.  If a writer makes an occaisional mistake, that's one thing.  but somebody that is trying to deceive will twist stuff alot and thus be interpreted as disingenuous.  Since the question was how to tell the difference, I took it that a writer was mistaken enough to be usually wrong.  Somebody that is usually right but sometimes wrong, is wortth considering, somebody that is most often wrong, seems to me to be a waste of time.

       Do they admit when they were wrong and adjust their thinking? Or do they doubledown and gaslight you that they were right all along?
