This is a classic example from philosophy of mind. It doesn't completely harmonize with the question you're asking, but it concisely summarizes two opposing views.

What's my view? That we do it all the time as a matter of course. "Why not do it?" isn't the question. The question is how much weight we should give to the result, and whether we should take care to question the results and try something else, too.
