Answer to Question #107005 in Philosophy for Shayleen

Question

Critical thinking professors often use conspiracy theories as examples of poor critical thinking. I want your reaction to focus on why that may be the case. Why is it that critical thinking professors use conspiracy theories as examples? Since abductive inferences are now part of your background knowledge, you might think about how most conspiracy theories would fare given the criteria for best explanations. Think about testability, fruitfulness, scope, simplicity, and conservatism. Why do you think most critical thinking professors do not accept most conspiracy theories as the best explanations of the data, given these criteria?
