But, you already do (that they are not true). You just don't realise it.

It's impossible for us to have knowledge on everything. You reject countless things you don't know about, because you don't know about them.

What you are talking about is you having awareness of that fact. That is simply not a requirement.

He and everyone else here rejects your four examples because everyone knows that they are not true.

Your claim of rejection as the default stance doesn't hold water. Here's why:

There are two groups of scientists. You have no knowledge of either of them.
Group A conducts research and writes a paper that states that global warming is a real thing.
Group B is sponsored by the Trump administration and writes a paper that states that global warming is not real.

If rejection is the default stance to everything unknown, then in this example you reject that global warming is real (group A) and at the same time you reject that global warming is not real (group B). This is why awareness has to exist before rejection can happen.

Maybe it's the word rejection. But what i'm saying is factually true. Maybe i am not being specific enough that this is how you determine what is real from what is not.

Both researches are real. In that situation you want to find out wich one is more accurate and thats a different can of worms.
