Is the Reasoning Style a Reliable One?

Theories that these people believe constitute large, complex theories of interlocking, mutually supporting propositions and beliefs. And the problem is not that there aren't rational connections between one thing that they believe and something else that they believe. In a way, t's perhaps a little misleading to think about belief in individual propositions. Take a character trait like prejudice or gullibility. Most of us can be gullible, certainly prejudiced in various ways. Now, gullibility and prejudice are examples of what i call intellectual vices.
