@dajbelshaw very well said.

Without a solid grounding in how to read critically, it is all too easy to be swept up by the predominating narrative and buy what is being sold without testing the product.

@rw It's easy to forget that some people's last experience of the criticality afforded by Humanities subjects was when they were ~14 years old. And even then, they may have been taught badly / not been paying much attention.
