We know disconfirmatory evidence can be misconstrued, even as confirmatory of existing beliefs. We also know that beyond the difficulty with scientific concepts themselves, readers have difficulty grasping the epistemology inherent in scientific text (such as the degree of certainty being expressed or the relationship between conclusions and reported evidence) and using it to help modulate their scientific beliefs. P. M. ca A. J. V. P. M. Phillips What are readers to do? At a minimum, they need to resist credulity and the tendency to accept misinformation with accurate and honest appraisals of what they understand, of the support that they have for their existing beliefs, and of the evidence in what they read both for the maintenance and the alteration of those beliefs.
