I wonder if this political model of information works for our discussions at Occam's with the fundamentalist Christians. Within that group, the more we argue, the more adamant the fundamentalists are about the correctness of the religious misinformation (on evolution, on global warming, on the age of the earth, etc.). Perhaps we need to turn down their emotions to get the correct information accepted. There definitely is a strong emotional attachment to their religious beliefs and misinformation about science.
