Agreed. Automatically accepting the mainstream interpretation of events (if/when there even is just one) would be a mistake. Automatically rejecting that interpretation in favor of whatever catches one's fancy would be a mistake of exactly the same type and at least equal magnitude. But somehow, people who do the second always seem to think they're super clever and above the "normies" who do the first. Meanwhile, people who actually engage their critical faculties when observing all accounts/narratives struggle to be heard above the noise.
