If every article you read agrees with you, you’re not researching. You’re shopping.

Looking for support and looking for the answer feel identical while you are doing them. Both involve reading, both take time, and both end in confidence, but one of them narrows the search until nothing inconvenient survives. The tell is what happens when you reach a source that disagrees, and whether you read it or scroll past.

On the next thing you look into, read one good piece arguing the other way, all the way to the end. You either come out better informed or genuinely more sure, and both are worth ten minutes.
