warning The Echo Chamber Trap!

Beware of Confirmation Bias.

(អន្ទាក់នៃការអានតែអ្វីដែលខ្លួនជឿ: ការអានគ្រាន់តែដើម្បីបញ្ជាក់ពីអ្វីដែលអ្នកជឿរួចទៅហើយ ជាជាងការពិចារណាដោយប្រុងប្រយ័ត្នលើគំនិតដែលផ្ទុយ។)

Look for leaps in logic. Ask yourself: "What must the author believe is true for this argument to make sense?" That belief is the assumption. search

No, you can critically reflect and completely agree! It just means your agreement is based on careful analysis, not blind acceptance. fact_check
