Lyndon Lamborn

“What typically happens when an individual is reviewing evidence that might disagree or contradict the initial idea or belief is the ‘makes sense – STOP’ perfunctory analysis syndrome. The person begins reviewing the information, focuses on a single topic or tenet, finds a way to discount it or explain it away and then immediately concludes that all the information can be explained away or dismissed in a similar manner, and going through each and every fact is a waste of time. The impatience felt by the investigator is a manifestation of the confirmation bias. Many cannot overcome it and fall victim to the ‘makes sense – stop’ perfunctory analysis syndrome.”
