When I don't know something, I think of different possibilities, guess at probabilities, learn more, revise what's possible and not, revise probabilities, etc. Call it circling around the topic.
Other people, like this author, seem to pick one view and assert it as certain and incontrovertible, and wait for rebuttals to debate X or Y or Z externally rather than with themselves. Cann it a pinball style, relying on exterior factors to redirect.
