When trying to find the truth behind human events, many mistakenly engage in the search in the same manner one looks for a missing object. In trying to locate a set of keys, for example, when the keys are located the search is concluded. The object was known at the start, with no debate necessary about the item being sought.
But with a search for facts behind human events, truth can’t be found with a pre-conceived formulation of the search’s conclusion. If a search is stopped at the moment an item that confirms or contradicts a pre-determined position is found, nothing has actually been accomplished.
If a person is looking for a conspiracy, for example, and stops at the first hint at one, nothing is gained but solidified ignorance. The search can’t stop there.
In some cases the search may never end.
