There is a book "The Believing Brain" by Michael Shermer which proposes that a person first determines what they want to believe and then go about the process of proving this belief. Sound familiar?
I think the push back you see is not from a closed mind, but due to the immediate assumption among some posters that something was done not up to code, that the county allows the developer to circumvent regulations, that natural events could not be to blame, and use of words like "scam" to describe the developer's dealings. I like to wait until the real experts have evaluated the problem on site, than the keyboard experts who pontificate from afar.
