The study subjects were then shown fake excerpts from a variety of "experts" on each topic.
Only 23% of individual-hierarchicals agreed that any of the experts knew what they were talking about while 88% of communitarian-egalitarians accepted the experts as being knowledgeable and trustworthy. Right here is that instant and most adolescent reaction to people who are in authority and knowledgeable of which I always speak. Why? I simply don't get it. Are they that insecure about themselves?
So let me get this straight. The people who CORRECTLY refused to accept a FAKE 'expert's' information is somehow in the wrong in your world? And the people who BLINDLY accepted fake information are in the right?
I think that pretty much sums up the entire problem with your worldview and base principles.
