Delighted to see this has been chosen for the main page! I recommend the removal of this sentence from the summary: "They also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position." The subject of the previous sentences is biases, so "they", which originally meant "people", is confusing. Also, biased interpretation of evidence is already mentioned two sentences back.

Another recommended change[edit]

On the article itself, I've just deleted "new" from the phrase "gather new evidence". It seems to me that if someone is gathering evidence, then it's new to them. Not an essential change, but saves four characters! MartinPoulter (talk) 12:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
