Some people do dig up those nuggets of evidence and put them to good use, marvel at how much better/easier/nicer something is that way, and wonder why nobody else on whatever board they're on does it that way. Then the cycle begins again...
Oh, without a doubt. We spend all our lives filtering out information that doesn't agree with our world view. We get pretty good at it, too!
