Episode Synopsis

Ideas/ knowledge can only change in 3 ways:

Preventing them from changing: you secure them from changing by justifying their truth, by adding arguments to them that say why they are true, e.g. appeal to authority arguments.
Subjectively adding parts to them (without critically investigating) that you feel are missing / or throwing out parts that you feel are not needed
Actually improving them: you find flaws in them and try to correct them
