You probably just increase the effect of confirmation bias when you reject beliefs without examining them.
I understood the strengthened confirmation bias as being in the person with ‘junk’ beliefs and ‘reject’ to mean public rejection. Wedrifid apparently interpreted the person in danger of having confirmation bias strengthened as being ‘you’, and to ‘reject’ meaning simply to not accept. Which did you intend?

I make the first of those interpretations. With respect to ‘reject’ I would maintain my comment with either definition. (Although with acknowledgement that pubic rejections can be mere politics and barely relevant to beliefs and explorations thereof.)
