...the researchers recruited 30 adult men who described themselves as committed Republicans or Democrats... The key word in this study is "committed". That's why so many people you deal with are impervious to all facts contrary to thier ideology. They are "committed" to their political ideology come hell or high water. The people in that study were all emotionally attached to their political ideology. Folks who are not "committed" left or right wingers are willing to adjust their POV's as time & events unfold. That way their POV's remain reality based because they are open to credible evidence as it becomes available. These people are NOT committed ideologues. They are rational, sober & reality based folks. And yes Suma, folks like this exist in the real world.
