I have met intelligent people who believe in all sorts of nonsense. 9/11 conspiracy, God, whatever. They usually have one or two beliefs of that kind and are very reasonable in the rest of their lifes.

Were you surprised because you literally hadn't expected that an educated intelligent person can believe in different facts, or because they all believed the same?
