       | From her survey:
       | 
       | >Another 85 percent of our respondents said critical thinking
       | skills are generally lacking in the public. "Changing societal
       | norms" was the most commonly cited reason for the lack of
       | critical thinking skills.

       | I think the respondents were being loose with "critical thinking"
       | here. Chronically talking past each other with bad faith doesn't
       | require poor reasoning, it only requires a sense of spite and a
       | need for emotional climax.

       | fight.
