Loved that - especially the last (to paraphrase) "not all are necessarily true - they are intended to provoke curiosity"

I believe curiosity to be one of the most important human traits.

I agree, a beauty for audio forums.

There should be a side note, stating that refuting it is tiring, but saying it seems to be energising!

In the same spirit (no pun intended), but listing some fundamental critical-thinking filters ("baloney detection") more than epiphenomena is a nice summary of a chapter of Carl Sagan's last published book, the summary created by Maria Popova at Brain Pickings. It popped up as one of Firefox's suggested readings when I opened a new tab.
