Detailed explanation-1: -The validity of an argument is independent from the truth of its conclusion: there are valid arguments for false conclusions and invalid arguments for true conclusions. Hence, it is an error to judge the validity of an argument from the plausibility of its conclusion. This is the reasoning error known as belief bias.
Detailed explanation-2: -Belief bias is the tendency in syllogistic reasoning to rely on prior beliefs rather than to fully obey logical principles.
Detailed explanation-3: -the tendency to be influenced by one’s knowledge about the world in evaluating conclusions and to accept them as true because they are believable rather than because they are logically valid.
Detailed explanation-4: -We are not using our logical reasoning skills when we are affected by belief bias. We are simply going along with what we think we already know without ensuring our knowledge fits the hypothesis at hand. Not only does this limit our growth, but it stunts our self-awareness and perception.
