MOST ALL LANGUAGE IS EXCUSE-MAKING
People don’t reason to seek the truth, they reason to make excuses for doing what they think is in their interest.
Language and reason evolved to negotiate in a social order, not to tell or determine the truth.
Otherwise it would not have taken us x thousand years to develop the scientific method.
And we would not need the scientific method. Because the entire purpose of the scientific method, is to compensate for the fact that our brains developed to negotiate, not tell the truth.
