You can believe whatever you want. but I've seen no evidence that people respond to the truth. People respond to what they wish were true, or what they *believe* might be true- they do not respond to actual truth. You would like to believe that people respond to the truth, so you believe that. You kind of prove the point. The studies show that people seek out data to confirm their biases. They do not statistically seek out "truth", or respond to it very well when it does not confirm their bias.
