It appears that in debunkers the maturation process is dramatically delayed. Instead of acquiring the ability of independent thought, the debunker will repeat parrot-like the conclusions of certain authority figures.
Their inability to process information and draw their own conclusions independent of that which is stated by authority figures in a textbook continues to the point that a debunker does not attain the ability to exist and operate independent of paternal figures that dictate actions.
Military type structures are great for debunkers because they are given orders and told what to do as if they were robots. These marching morons devoid of intellect are perfect for police states. Their blind unquestioning belief in authority figures makes them useful pawns.
Case in point, in the first grade, a girl told me that Santa Claus was real. When I explained to her that the big fat man could not fit through a chimney, she said "Well, you're stupid because the teacher says he's real so he is real."
Debunkers do not grow out of this blind unquestioning obedience to authority figures. They often preface their arguments with "The textbook says" or "The teacher says" as if the teacher were some kind of God.
The debunker remains in an "adultolescent" quasichildish state where they cannot and will not question authority figures because they lack the cognitive resources to form their own hypothesis based on factual evidence. These overgrown children do not possess the psychological apparatus to comprehend the world around them. It appears that debunkers cannot understand why an authority figure would transmit a deliberate falsehood. This infantile behavior of blind unquestioning belief of everything that they are told by their supposed superiors renders them little more than automatons.
