For mine - There are "facts" and there are "beliefs".
"Facts" can create a "belief" (eg: Evan & the SAAC Registry, or religions).
BUT
Equally "beliefs" can also create a "fact" (eg: Cobras are cobras cos they look like cobras, and everyone(else except for Evan's crew) calls "cobras", or again religions).
No fact can ever change one's belief.
There are many thesis and philosophical discussion done on this stuff... It's akin to "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".

This is a brilliant analogy.
Evan does certainly "cling" to his copy of "the authoritative book", when it serves him. Just like folks do with all sorts of other books.
