Scientist is the perfect word for it really. It comes from an indo european root meaning to split things apart, in this sense meaning the ability to discern one thing from another.

There are many who go NPC if they agree with the story but go nihilist/scientist if they don't. In fact that might be the largest group.

>Common man does not speculate about the great problems. With regard to them he relies upon other people's authority, he behaves as "every decent fellow must behave," he is like a sheep in the herd. It is precisely this intellectual inertia that characterizes a man as a common man. Yet the common man does choose. He chooses to adopt traditional patterns or patterns adopted by other people because he is convinced that this procedure is best fitted to achieve his own welfare. And he is ready to change his ideology and consequently his mode of action whenever he becomes convinced that this would better serve his own interests.

~Ludwig von Mises (mises.org)

@MaroonSaint and @HooBeJoo are the common man.

au contraire. the common man knows bullshit when he sees it and smells it. there's a difference between the common man and a retard.

I am guilty of this on occasion. I have to really watch myself and make sure I'm not just confirming bias.
