why are people choosing best answer based on what they want to hear rather than the truth?
It is really starting to bother me that factual and truthful answers are being passed over, as inaccurate or just flat out wrong information is being voted BA or chosen as BA by the OP.
Seems people are here more to validate their own thoughts, rather than accept the truth.
I am not referring to questions involving opinion, I am referring to questions that have a factual answer.
ex: One question asked if he could get in trouble for selling counterfeit goods. The best answer chosen was that he would not, as long as he said they were counterfeit before he sold them.
I am REALLY starting to think that people are way more stupid than I could have ever imagined.
WHY? WHY are people choosing BA for obviously incorrect and inaccurate answers, especially when a question has other valid and factual answers that properly answer the question?

Because, all too often people don't really want the truth, what they want is to validate their own faulty assumptions, to just whine, or most often, try to get something for nothing.

Human decision is more of subjective than objective, How many people in this world openly accept the truth. even they accept the truth it is for others attention only. many of the questions are already answered in the mind before they are posted, some answers are only suggestion and to satisfy inner feeling, so as you find more of the answers are choosen best as per person biased judgement...!!!
Nothing unusual...!!!
