Longer, but it leads reliably to the same place every time. Studying only the internal can reach any conclusion you want.

I agree in part. You’re assuming that people studying the external seek objective truth over their desired truth. Think of Flat Earthers for example. Delusion is the same, whether it arises from an internal or external search for truth. That delusion arises from an attachment to what we get from a belief. especially when that attachment is stronger or valued more than objective truth. Healthy practice (scientific and spiritual) frees one from delusion by valuing objective truth over attachments to beliefs that nurture delusion / denial.
