That's true! Having an interest is a good thing as long as people recognize their own limits. When faced with information supporting a counter view, tinkering in the basement or doing some personal research should be encouraged.

Your tribal analogy is a great one. That's a better way of summarizing my block of text above: seeing the tribal responses on both sides of a debate I understood well suggested tribal responses are likely occurring in areas I don't understand well.
