Is a perfect example of outcome-based thinking. He decides on an answer and then interprets or ignore evidence as necessary to support the answer.

It's what the entire Republican party does all the time. It's how they manage to believe in supply-side economincs. Joe Scar doesn't want to admit that, of course, but in many ways, Carson is their perfect candidate since he exemplifies their basis of thought.

Some Democrats do it too.... It's a plague on humanity.
