Summary

Smart people are just as prone to cherry-picking evidence that backs up what they already believe as anyone else; what actually resists that pull is the habit of actively weighing opposing views, not raw brainpower. For a reasoning system, this means you cannot rely on capability or model size alone to stay unbiased — you need deliberate, explicit mechanisms for surfacing and stress-testing counterarguments.
