Another reasons is this....they don't understand what's being discussed because they've never been smart enough to understand it and/or they couldn't get past 1st base at school in any of the courses they took. However, they believe they know better than those who do understand the science and have actually done the required learning and research. Because it's all just opinion anyway, isn't it. So, they do a little bit of reading, become armchair experts and then think they have a monopoly on what's really happening in the world. They fall for any crackpot idea that sounds good and appeals to their ignorance, then become faithful devotees to the cause. At the expense of logic, rationality and good science/scientific principles. In this case, what little imagination they do have becomes a liability.
