      Right, but you presuppose that testing ones beliefs in order to gain knowlegde, is mutually exclusive from happiness. I personally would be miserable if I could'nt test the validity of my beliefs, because I don't want to believe anything, I want to know everything. And to quote Carl Sagan-
      “For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.”

          Right, but how can you be sure that you aren't biased towards your own beliefs? When you argue with somebody of an opposing belief, you are in an argument against a person who won't hold back. There are also instances where your method would be less than beneficial to society, after all there are people who believe that hommosexuals are an abomination, that religion should be taught in science classes, and that women should cover up and speak only when spoken to. It seems that leaving these opinions unquestioned could have disastrous results for society.
