I think shminux may have in mind one or more specific topics of contention that he’s had to hash out with multiple LWers in the past (myself included), usually to no avail.
(Admittedly, the one I’m thinking of is deeply, deeply philosophical, to the point where the question “what if I’m wrong about this?” just gets the intuition generator to spew nonsense. But I would say that this is less about an inability to question one’s most deeply held beliefs, and more about the fact that there are certain aspects of our world-models that are still confused, and querying them directly may not lead to any new insight.)
