> Being able to recognize those contradictions is an essential skill

My eyes are brown.

I dislike coffee.

My phone is on the desk next to me right now.

One of these is false, and the other two are true. Can you recognise which is which? Or do you not have this "essential skill"?

When you're being given information about a topic you don't already know about, there's no skill to be able to recognise which pieces of that information are correct and which aren't. Either you know the information already, or you don't.
