Because truth does not reveal itself, we have to pay our epistemic labor to obtain truth. There is another obstacle. It does not come from outside ourselves; it actually comes from inside ourselves. We tend to believe that certain things are true and that conclusions which make us feel comfortable are correct. We may also avoid tracking evidence carefully. Thus, accuracy becomes not merely an epistemic skill, but also a character trait that resists what makes us feel comfortable.

因为真理不会自行显现，我们必须付出认知劳动才能获得真理。还有另一个障碍，它并非来自外部，而是来自我们自身。我们倾向于相信某些事情是真的，并认为那些让我们感到舒适的结论是正确的。我们也可能避免仔细追踪证据。因此，准确性不仅仅是一种认知技能，更是一种抵制让我们感到舒适之物的品格特质。
