Actually that is a good heuristic for understanding most people. Only horribly pedantic people like myself tend to volunteer evidence against our own beliefs.
Yes, I think you're right. The people on LessWrong are unusual. Even so, even when speaking to members of the general population, sometimes one will misinterpret the things that they say as evidence of certain beliefs. (They may be offering evidence to support their beliefs, but I may misinterpret which of their beliefs they're offering evidence in support of).
And in any case, my point (1) above still stands.
