Detection signals
- Asymmetric skepticism toward conflicting data.
- Goal-aligned interpretation of ambiguous evidence.
- Repeated conclusion-preserving reframing.
Motivated reasoning
Reasoning is steered by desired conclusions rather than neutral evidence weighting.
The narrative applies asymmetric standards: supportive data is accepted quickly while contradictory data faces stronger skepticism.
Caution notes
- Strong priors are normal; bias appears when standards diverge materially.
- Avoid assigning intent without evidence.
