    like when people try to argue that the PRC's economy is currently socialist

    The easiest counter to this is that the PRC itself does not consider its economy to be socialist.

    People also seem to unfortunately like to come to a conclusion first, and then try to fit the facts to match that conclusion

    Exhibit A: The whole "Western Marxist" debate. A whole lot of people will look for someone else to blame before they blame themselves or their group.
