According to Thomas Sowell, facts framed his decision making. This was his central word and he hit upon it when asked why he changed his mind from Marxism. Dramatically, with a so slight a pause, and a slow smile on his face, said simply facts .
Often many only believe what they want the facts to be. I'd have to call it utopianism. I still today recall vividly a Harvard professor speaking on television in front of his class saying to the affect that if what I say does not agree with the facts then the facts are wrong!
