Those kind of "arguments" if you can call them that aren't exactly convincing to myself who takes the problem seriously. I think the evidence now adays is so incredibly on the side of skepticism I can only assume people who subscribe to
Naïve realism just haven't really spent any time considering the alternative.

Of course not. Upgrading your belief system is a good thing to do. I'm just saying don't pretend a belief system isn't still a belief system. You're going to be biased. Rather than denying this, know where it is so you can account for it. Knowing your limitations is a strength, not a weakness.
