"The whole point of critical thinking is to get rid of beliefs, true or false."

My way of thinking about it is that critical thinking is about finding truths by being able to evaluate information and literally sort out the wheat from the chaff. It also includes the realising that you are human and its possible to get things wrong as learning is a process that continues through life.
