In a way it's nice that we have people who are willing to "do the research". It would be even better if some of them would learn enough to understand the research.

"research" in that context means "find flimsy reasons to not change my beliefs"

Well yes but the problem is they do their "research" on the flat Earth society's Facebook page. They also tend to believe people just because they've got names like Dr Phil, and they will find that one crank that is prepared to go on fox news and say climate change is a lie and disregard the other 10,000 scientists.
