It's kind of funny, but we all do this to some extent. I used to think most people on Reddit were super smart. If someone says stuff with authority, then it's easy to believe what they're saying and assume they know what they're talking about.

But then every once in a while, I'd come across a topic that I know deeply about - and the comment would just be blatantly wrong, but still have tons of up votes. It really made me start second guessing all the other comments I had read and thought were smart, but it's an easy trap to fall into.

I guess what I'm really saying, is that you all are a bunch of morons, probably.
