The Importance of Being Coherent
When there's two sides, essentially all you have to do is like take the evidence of one side and compare it to the evidence of the other side. And that's not always easy, but it's more straightforward than trying to come up with a single conclusion from both sides. It reminds me of this failure mode that high IQ people fall into sometimes where they're so much better at sort of being coherent in a very complex way that other people can't reply to. They convince themselves that they're right much more often than they are because others just struggle to argue against them.
