This is an interesting term but I think calling out specific groups as having this trait (i.e. evolutionists and global warming advocates) is unncessary. It is a blank cheque for any group to apply to anyone who disagrees; Young earthers versus old earthers; Evolutionists versus intelligent design; Agnostics versus any diety based religion. This "encylopedia" article serves nothing but to offer a backhanded critizism.
- If you don't think evolutionists use confirmation bias, I suggest you look at some of the works of Richard Dawkins and others like him. As for the global warmists, didn't you hear about the scandal from the Climate Research Unit? PatrickP 20:15, 18 May 2010 (EDT)
