My claim is that the dismissal is the critical thinking thing to do.
Just tell us how you really feel.

You guys are wayyyyyy over thinking this critical thinking bit.
​
Critical thinking is being critical of your thinking.
​
Not just willy-nilly choosing something, but actually being critical of each and every aspect of the decision making process.
​
All critical thinking is not created equal as the critic could be a imbecile.

I would suggest that critical thinking would have a large helping of common sense, realizing that common sense is far from common, and that logic, when taken to extremes, can become counterproductive.
