What's wrong with learning facts?

Nothing wrong in itself. But it is appropriate to wonder about the takeaways. Without proper context and history, the lessons you draw might not be helpful ones.

Good point; it makes me think most people open articles because they want to be sold into a narrative, rather than learn facts.

This is why folks listen to the “news” media yammer about a topic even after they know the facts.
